At the last census over 70% of the population defined themselves as nominally, at least, Christian. Why should the 30% who do not share that faith decide that those who do should not be allowed to vote according to their conscience.
'If there is no God then everything is allowed' might have been a suitable aphorism before the last war, but it is faith in God that created the country in which we now live. It was the faith of Keir Hardie that created the Labour Party, it was the faith of Wlberforce that ended the Atlantic slave trade etc etc.
Bear, would you have forbad the Christians who campaigned against slavery from voting so that the secular slave owners could get their own way?
