It is easier to be Jewish in Britain than it would be in a secular country because of the “tolerance that Christianity demands of our society”, David Cameron said this week.
Discussing his own religion – and that of society as a whole - in an article for the Church Times, the Prime Minister said it was the country’s Christian morals that enabled “greater space for other religious faiths too.”
He said: “Crucially, the Christian values of responsibility, hard work, charity, compassion, humility and love are shared by people of every faith and none – and we should be confident in standing up to defend them.”
He also spoke about the “fundamental role” played by faith-based organisations in the UK, saying they were the “driving force behind some of the most inspiring social action projects” today.
