Britain is in trouble

[Foxaèr]

Religious groups have backed Prime Minister David Cameron's assertion Britain is "a Christian country".

Public figures, including authors Sir Terry Pratchett and Philip Pullman - in an open letter published in Monday's Daily Telegraph - said: "We object to his characterisation of Britain as a 'Christian country' and the negative consequences for politics and society that this engenders.

"Apart from in the narrow constitutional sense that we continue to have an established Church, Britain is not a 'Christian country'.

"Constantly to claim otherwise fosters alienation and division in our society."
