Delegation: Baroness Warsi will call for Christianity to play a greater role in public life on a visit to Rome
Christianity is in grave danger of being marginalised, Britain’s only Muslim cabinet minister will tell the Vatican today.
Baroness Warsi will call for Europeans to take more pride in their religious roots and for Christianity to play a greater role in public life.
She will attack the ‘basic misconception’ that Christianity needs to be ‘erased’ for minorities to feel welcome in society.
She also spoke of her fears for British society which she believes is being taken hold of by ‘militant secularists’ in an article for the Daily Telegraph.
Social cohesion will improve if individuals feel more confident in their religious beliefs, she will tell the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy in Rome, a college which trains priests for diplomatic and secretariat duties.
Baroness Warsi is leading a UK delegation to be received by the Pope at the Vatican today. With seven ministers, it is the largest ever UK mission to the Holy See.
The peer, who is co-chairman of the Conservative Party, said she feared that religion was being increasingly downgraded or dismissed as an eccentricity.
Baroness Warsi will call for faith to be given proper space in public life. ‘People need to feel stronger in their religious identities, more confident in their beliefs,’ she will say.
‘In practice this means individuals not diluting their faiths … and nations not denying their religious heritages. If you take this thought to its conclusion then the idea you’re left with is this: Europe needs to become more confident in its Christianity.
‘Too often there is a suspicion of faith in our continent. It all hinges on a basic misconception: That to create equality and space for minorities we need to erase our religious heritage.’
Her comments come just days after a landmark legal ruling banning the saying of prayers at council meetings.
Christians and politicians reacted with dismay after a judge overturned centuries of custom by stopping a town hall in Devon putting prayers on the formal agenda.
It prompted concern that it would pave the way for Parliament to abandon prayers before Commons and Lords business, mark the end of hospital and military chaplains, and even lead to the abolition of the coronation oath.
The ruling came on the same day that two Christian guesthouse owners failed in their attempt to overturn a £3,600 fine imposed on them for refusing to allow a gay couple to occupy a double room.
Before Christmas, David Cameron declared Britain to be a Christian country and urged people to ‘stand up and defend’ the values of the Bible.

Lady Warsi will say that centuries of Christianity have shaped British culture and civilisation and will praise faith for ‘inspiring, driving and motivating’ good works.
‘You cannot and should not extract these Christian foundations from the evolution of our nations any more than you can or should erase the spires from our landscapes,’ she will say.
However, the Cabinet minister will warn: ‘I see a great danger to this confident affirmation of religion today. It is what the Holy Father called the increasing marginalisation of religion during his speech in Westminster Hall.
‘I see it in the UK and I see it in Europe. Spirituality, suppressed. Divinity, downgraded.
‘Where, in the words of the Archbishop of Canterbury, faith is looked down on as the hobby of oddities, foreigners and minorities. Where religion is dismissed as an eccentricity because it’s infused with tradition.’

Many try to stand up for their Christian beliefs only to be over ruled by the human rights brigade and outlawed by the courts the latest case being the BB owners being prosecuted for their beliefs that homosexuality is against their religious beliefs and being hounded for it.

This trend of Right wing governements trying to enforce religion is scary. First the US, then Canada, now the UK – We need less, not more religion in our Governments. If you want to pray, worship, whatever, do it in the privacy of your skull and stop trying to force your bronze age mythologies into our lives, our laws and onto our bodies.

Sooner or later, you stop believing in fairy tales. Perhaps, at last, the human race is growing up.

“politically correct and who talk loudly only about politics and social issues.”
So had you actuallly been around when the Son of God came to Earth in human form you’d have found his PC, leftist, rabble rousing, anti-establishment sermons incredily irritating, I take it?
Do Daily Mail reading Christians actually understand anything about the religion they’ve chosen to follow, at all?

As an atheist, I just can’t get over the dumb things people “of faith” often say.

And as a Christian I can’t understand why athiests like yourself get so hot under the collar about other peoples beliefs while and trying to force your non belief on us. Humanists, you don’t know the meaning of the word.

The British Public are not stupid and are able to make up their own minds. That is why Anglican Churches are closing and people in their Millions have voted with their feet. It doesn’t make them any less good by not going to Church and saves them a few pounds a week too!!

The Pharaoh in in Egypt was so arrogant because he had it all. He even went on to despise the God that created him. In the end though, God showed him who was more powerful and destroyed him badly in the sea. I have a feeling the same people who think God does not exist call on Him during hard times or they will one day. I work in a care home and see pictures of people in the past and their present state and how they call on God in their agony which humbles me. There may be people with evil character hiding behind religion but look beyond them and find out more about your faith.

Religion should be a PRIVATE belief, not a public one. There should be NO allowances for ANY religion in any public issues – especially politics.
