You do realize that Britain has a STATE Church, right? They've built a number of churches (for one faith, of course) with tax payer money .

Please show the last time the UK gave money to the Anglacian church for the purpose of making churches or carrying out relious conversions. It has been a long time.

Doesn't matter... saying that the UK has to build houses of worship for everyone if it builds it for one is hilarious in light of British history.

Since there is no seperation of church and state, there need be no equality in such matters.

Let them build it. What goes up will come down.

Reread what I wrote and respond to what I said not what you thought you read or wish I wrote.

Frankly I'm not sure how you could be so confused.

There are indirect subsidies in the forms of grants through national bodies and tax relief.

The Church of England has the Church Commissioners to look after its finances- they are accountable to Parliament and the General Synod of the Church of England.

English Heritage supports repairs to and restoration of the fabric of some Anglican churches and cathedrals with grants.

There are also tax exemptions for some works to the Church's buildings too.
