Are we to be denied our Christian beliefs?
So, the Secular Society wants us to deny our Christian beliefs because we don't always go to church ("Non-believers told to make mark on census", Mercury, February 1) – in order to prove what, exactly, in the next census?
We Christians, of whichever branch of the Church, believe in the birth of Christ, as celebrated at Christmas and the bitter-sweet death and resurrection of Jesus Christ at Easter. We constantly remember our early teachings and in times of need or thankfulness we think of God as a natural thought process.
Everyone practises their faith in a different way and must be entitled to call it as they feel it. I felt that there was a suggestion of hypocrisy in the field of Christianity only, and have taken it very personally. I have lost my right to declare myself as English in favour of British. Long live my right to be Christian!
