Dear Moonflower
The 2001 Census collected information about ethnicity and religious identity. Combining these results shows that while the population is more culturally diverse than ever before, White Christians remain the largest single group by far. In England and Wales, 36 million people (nearly 7 out of 10) described their ethnicity as White and their religion as Christian. Source: www.statistics.gov.uk
I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about what Christianity teaches and what it means to be a Christian. Part of being a Christian means sharing our faith with others. Prior to becoming a Christian I was facinated with occult practices. This started at age 5 or 6 when I was introduced to a book in our school library called 'Tom and the Ghost'. Which is about a boy who takes a potion from a witch and is then able to interact with ghosts for a limited time. It is only now almost 30 years later that I see this was harmful to me. But I still had the right - even at that age to reject Christianity and I did. I think it is wrong to suggest that Christianity can force us to do or believe anything. We all have free will and hearing about different faiths does not take that right away from anyone. Each person has a right to choose and hearing about Christianity doesn't deter from that.
