Proof The Bible Is True

The Christian faith is being pushed out of public life, former attorney general Rt Hon Dominic Grieve has said, adding “Clearly it happens at a level of local power… In my view it’s very undesirable.”

In an interview with The Telegraph, Mr Grieve highlighted as “quite extraordinary” some high profile cases in which employees had been sacked for wearing crosses or expressing their beliefs. He conveyed a strong belief that it was “more important than ever” that politicians speak up about their religious beliefs at a time in which Christians abroad were suffering persecution.

Religion is generally excluded from political discourse in the UK, where politicians rarely talk about the role that their beliefs have within their decision making processes. This is despite an increase in the number of religious people entering public life over the last few decades.

Former Prime Minister Tony Blair, who converted to Catholicism after retiring, was barred by his director of communications Alisdair Campbell from talking about his religion. Mr Campbell once famously prevented him from answering a question on the subject by interjecting “We don’t do God”.
