In the uk, religion is not seen favourably by a large portion, so is kept hidden. “we don’t do god” alistair Campbell.

I admire the position, Depends, but I’ve read a lot of troubling things about governmental sops to the Islamic community in the area of government funded ‘faith’ schools. Be careful lest you be out bred and out immigrated as is well under way in France. Soon it won’t be the catholic or protestant faiths one needs to worry about.
