I hear, loud and clear, that the Government’s Communities and Local Government Secretary Eric Pickles and Cabinet minister Lady Warsi are both desperate to restore Christian religious beliefs to the very heart of political and civic affairs in the UK.

One of the reasons why so many sensible people are opposed to this is because Christian doctrine is blatantly immoral: it is adamantly, vehemently and stubbornly opposed to equality for either women or gays.
