ARE WE TO BE DENIED OUR CHRISTIAN BELIEFS?

This letter appears in today's Leicester Mercury
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!
