As someone on the left I don’t much like religion and am an atheist but freedom of religion is important, but I wouldn’t let any religious beliefs influence policy and ideally religion shouldn’t be part of the Government.
It’s the right that love religion, thanks to them and their policies there is more religious programming on radio 4.
People don't know what they have till it's gone. People complain about the 'religous right' and I'm sure there are some nutters/false teachers however, get rid of them and will be replaced by some other group, always have a heirarchy, always have people in power, just depends who.
