My moment with the PM

David Cameron ruffled some feathers this Easter.

This time they were those of a few of the New Atheists, with his public declaration that we live in a Christian country and that the Lord is ‘our saviour’. During April he held an Easter reception in Downing Street and subsequently wrote an article for the Church Times. It included the remarkable call to be ‘more evangelical about a faith that compels us to get out there and make a difference to people’s lives’. In the article, he described his own personal faith experience and membership of the Church of England.

Christianity causes division?

Atheists were riled. 55 of them wrote an open letter to the Daily Telegraph complaining that his words were causing division. I do not remember any of them ever writing in complaint when Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband confessed to being atheists. Perhaps our secular intellectuals cannot imagine that atheism could ever be divisive, they see that as purely a Christian ailment!
