Christians in Britain participating in the “Not Ashamed” campaign, launched today by the group Christian Concern for Our Nation (CCFON), are “speaking up for the Christian foundation of our society” and calling on politicians and other leaders to protect religious freedoms, reports LifeSiteNews.com. George Lord Carey, the former archbishop of Canterbury and an outspoken critic of Britain’s growing secularism, declared today that Modern Britain is increasingly ashamed of the Christian origins of its cultural heritage and said that its great Christian cultural legacy is “under attack.” “This attempt to ‘air-brush’ the Christian Faith out of the picture is especially obvious as Christmas approaches,” he said. Christmas cards with religious themes, even as much as an angel, are difficult to find in most shops, school nativity plays are stripped of Christian content, and Christmas decorations and public celebrations are often banned by local councils. The cause, Lord Carey said, is “a combination of well-meaning political correctness, multiculturalism and overt opposition to Christianity,” in which “a new climate, hostile to our country’s tradition and history, is developing.”
