Lord Carey attacks PM over Christian 'support'
The former archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey, has accused David Cameron of making Christians feel marginalised.
He said it was a "bit rich" for the prime minister to tell religious leaders to oppose secularisation.
This follows comments made by the PM at a pre-Easter Downing Street reception for faith leaders.
A Downing Street spokesman rejected the criticism, saying Mr Cameron valued "the profound contribution" Christianity had made to UK life.
But Lord Carey wrote in the Daily Mail that the government seemed to be "aiding and abetting" aggressive secularisation.
He also said Mr Cameron had done more than any other recent political leader to increase Christian anxieties.
Many Christians doubted the sincerity of Mr Cameron's support of Christians' right to practise their faith, he said.

The comments - certainly all the highly-rated ones - are uniformly negative towards the good ex-Archbishop.

I wish I was so marginalised as to have a seat in the House Of Lords.

Yep. Marginalised because they hold bigoted views...in addition to believing goofy nonsense of course.

That is actually the gist of all the top-rated comments. They deserve to get marginalised, because they want to impose their own baseless beliefs on others.

They should be pleased really. If the marginalized can be persecuted and the persecution can reach a point where they are being fed to lions imagine how that'll glorify God? I'd love to be thrown to lions myself. Only wish I was Christian....but sadly not to be.
What will the world be like after its ruler is removed?

I'm sure you can get yourself into a Big Cat enclosure somewhere if you're really determined about it.
