    David Cameron ‘fuelling sectarian division by bringing God into politics'

    Dozens of public figures accuse David Cameron of fostering alienation and division with call to view Britain as a Christian country

    David Cameron is sowing sectarianism and division by insisting that Britain is still a “Christian country” an alliance of writers, scientists, philophers and politicians has claimed.

    In a letter to The Telegraph, 55 public figures from a range of political backgrounds accuse him of fostering “alienation” and actively harming society by repeatedly emphasising Christianity.

    The group, which includes writers such as Philip Pullman and Sir Terry Pratchett, Nobel Prize winning scientists, prominent broadcasters and comedians argue that members of the elected Government have no right to “actively prioritise” religion or any particular faith.

    It comes after a series of public statements in which Mr Cameron has been increasingly vocal about his own faith.

    Last week, in an article for the Church Times, the Prime Minister said Britain should be unashamedly “evangelical” about its Christianity.


    There's really no solution to this... only terrible choices.

    Sure, we could invade. But then we'd have to rebuild the nation. With the various local ethnic groups all vying for control, this will be an extremely difficult task.

    The population is extremely hostile and uneducated.


    Removing the current regime would most likely result in an extended period of violence. The country lacks economic development and has no natural resources to speak of. Local militias fight for control of scraps.


    The UN is impotent. Any resolutions would fail in the security council due to the veto power.

    There's just no good solution here. We can't arm the militias. They'd turn around and use those weapons against us the first chance they get. We can't support the fundamentalist government. They've already started a campaign of internet censorship... trying to force the country to adopt its archaic and twisted morality.

    The worst is the pro-government propaganda. It's almost impossible to argue with the hardliner nationalists. They just repeat the same talking points over and over again. It's not long before the government occupies even more land in an attempt to protect native speakers.

    And I'm not even getting into the threat of nuclear war here. I know there might be plans to take control of the country's nuclear stockpile should things deteriorate further. Fortunately, the country's military is week and crumbling due to years of neglect. That sets my mind at ease, a little.

    Hopefully the international community can make itself useful so we can solve this problem!

      This is also on the heals of their hosting of the Olympic games. They made a mockery of international athletic competition in an attempt to relive the glory days... before their global empire crumbled.

        David Cameron is right. The UK is a theocracy. God save the Queen!

            Religious people know actions matter more than words!

            Time to round up some heretics and start a bonfire! The UK must be made a Papist-free zone.

                    It's a fair point, the 12 Christians left in Britain will probably feel increasingly alienated.

                      The people complaining about this must be absolutely livid that their head of state is crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

                        Or the fact that Catholics are excluded from being their monarch. No, not a theocracy!

                            Why would I stay mad? I don't live in a country that enshrines medieval bigotry.
