It may be worth reminding that we are 'officially' a christian country, although since striving towards being more secular seems to be more popular nowadays.. and that means having all religions (and non-religions) on an equal status, not banning religion from display like france has. That would be state-atheism.

France banned the burka (facial veil) for security reasons. The burka isn't part of the Islamic religion, just something that was added later.

Such an add wouldn't bother me. It would certainly surprise me but that's about it.

I'm not at all religious but enjoy the Christian/Pagan element of Christmas. I also enjoy being amongst the French who tend to be a lot more religious than we are; perhaps it has something to do with a close community spirit that we seem to lack here. I also love the sound of church bells ringing or going to a Christian wedding or christening. Sometimes I even wish I was part of that religion.

Perhaps I'm just a hypocrite
