A BBC poll suggests that most people want religion and the values derived from it to play an important role in British public life.

Of 1,045 people questioned by ComRes, 62% were in favour.

Meanwhile, 63% of those questioned agreed that laws should respect and be influenced by the UK's traditional religious values.

The findings contrast with calls from some politicians and secularist groups to exclude faith from the public arena.

Not surprised, the state religion permeates the whole of public life in the UK. And times are tough there, things are very uncertain. Since the absorption into Europe the Brits are probably feeling a loss of national identity, hence the tendency towards atomisation towards the situation as it was before the Acts of Union.

Religious values...that of the Anglican Church, or Islam in about 20 years?

Religious values will dominate the law when the latter comes to maturity.

Yea, I am a Mark Steyn demographics and culture bore.

It's only a prediction, unless you know otherwise.
