"Doethine about sums it up as far as Britain is concerned, just like Nazi Germany, secret police visit Christians that practise their faith, interrogate them in their own homes and take them to police stations for further interrogation. This is happening time and time again"
Tinfoil hat-wearer, much? And even if the bullshit you're spewing were indeed the case, that's a bad thing... how?
"New Labour might be administering this abuse to the Christian faith but both the Conservatives and Lib Dems will continue the practise de briefing our religious code should they be elected."
Nooo, it's simply that here in the UK, and specifically with the main political parties, being openly fundie is seen as a sure-fire vote killer. Y'see, we Brits have something called a sense of Irony, and Cynicism. Healthy British attitudes that ensures US right-wing fundamentalist Christianity will never exist in our country.
"In Briton we are being overrun with muslims and many other faiths that are being allowed to set up their own courts outside the traditional legal system of Britain."
Watch Fox News and read the Daily Fail, much?
"Even our spiritual leader 'The 'Archbishop of Canterbury' no longer recognises our faith"
He's the head clergyman of the Church of England. DUHHHHH?!
"and THe Prince of Wales (the future defender of the faith) is courting muslim ways."
Ol' Chuck has always stated that he wants to be a 'Defender of Faith'. Do keep up, Redmonk
"It is a very strange position to be in having a faith (Church of England) that the ones who are supposed to up hold the faith"
Chuck's mother Queen Elizabeth II is the Defender of the Faith, and head of the Church of England. Do you see her getting her knickers in a twist in the same way you are?
"are allowed to exorcise"
It's the Roman Catholic church that does exorcisms. Do get your religions right, Redmonk.
"a right of non conformity"
That's the whole point of the Church of England, you dickhead:
Harry Blackitt: That's what being a Protestant's all about. That's why it's the church for me. That's why it's the church for anyone who respects the individual and the individual's right to decide for him or herself. When Martin Luther nailed his protest up to the church door in fifteen-seventeen, he may not have realised the full significance of what he was doing, but four hundred years later, thanks to him, my dear, I can wear whatever I want on my John Thomas...
[sniff]
Harry Blackitt: ... and, Protestantism doesn't stop at the simple condom. Oh, no. I can wear French Ticklers if I want.
Mrs. Blackitt: You what?
Harry Blackitt: French Ticklers. Black Mambos. Crocodile Ribs. Sheaths that are designed not only to protect, but also to enhance the stimulation of sexual congress.
Mrs. Blackitt: Have you got one?
Harry Blackitt: Have I got one? Uh, well, no, but I can go down the road any time I want and walk into Harry's and hold my head up high and say in a loud, steady voice, 'Harry, I want you to sell me a condom. In fact, today, I think I'll have a French Tickler, for I am a Protestant.'
-"Monty Python's Meaning of Life"
"while those that believe are being misrepresented."
Ah, so when I see your ilk, the ranting, foaming-at-the-mouth street preachers, spewing their fire & brimstone 'Turn or Burn' bullshit, I'm misrepresenting them?!
"That is why we need to have big changes in the running of this country, the present government are running this country as a dictatorship and th Arch bishop of Canterbury and the Prince of Whales are giving way to practises that put our faith in danger of extinction and in my view they have to be stopped."
Give it your best shot, cuntbubble. The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Prince of 'Whales' [sic] are the least of your problems. You're going to have to deal with the attitudes of the entire British public who have seen what has happened to the USA, and how right-wing fundamentalist Christianity has permeated almost all of American society, especially politically. If during the 80s, and especially between 2000-2008 has taught us anything, it's that the Religious Right has all but destroyed America.
And we in the UK are damned if we're going to allow that to happen here. Thank fuck for Richard Dawkins:

You don't like the way we do things in the secular, Atheist UK, fuck off to your right-wing fundy bumchums in America, Redmonk.
If you think you're being 'Persecuted', good. You're asking for it, bollockbrain.

"Does anyone have a pi chart for Britain?"
If one did exist, it'd have the likes of Redmonk as the tiniest sliver of fundies, the largest segment of the quarter would be Church of England (with Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs etc being the lesser segments), and the 'Pac-Man'-esque part chomping down on Redmonk et al would be the huge majority of Brits who couldn't give a flying fuck about religion, and only go to church for weddings, christenings & funerals.
