Just invented a new word for what our government seem intent on doing. ’Islamplifying'.

I don't wish to be classed as anti-Christian or anti-Islam or anti-semitic. Everyone is entitled to believe whatever they want, I just don't believe in any religion. I'm also sure there are many historical treatises about the relationships between religions and human progress. And of course Christianity has had and will continue to have a bigger impact on life here than any other religion because we are/were a Christian country. My original post simply pointed that out.

Holland argues we find the Nazis so abhorrent - so ungodly - because Hitler believed in the strong killing the weak for the greater good. That's the polar opposite of Christianity. It hasn't always been that way.

DO - Yes. There's an excellent book by Tom Holland (not that one) on this called 'Dominion' [Link]

Tom Swig - and it IS because Chritianity has become so tolerant (as has the western world generally), that other more medieval and ancient religions with less tolerance are taking advantage and are able to impose themselves on other religions and populations who are more passive.

KD - really? The Crusades. Most wars since modern man walked the earth. Remember that the only people the Shia muslims hate more than the jews are the Sunni muslims. Hitler's justification for all that was wrong in Germany.

I would suggest the exact opposite is true.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam all helped preserve the wisdom of the ancients when it would otherwise have been lost.

Sadly Silk Roads has finished now but it had Al-Khwarizmi's original manuscript for completing the square.
Religion has been an enormous civilising force for good, to the extent that we don't even realise the power it still holds over us.

Interesting OI, I'm RC and none of my compatriots fall in to the lobby groups that you mention. And all of those groups would have non-Christian supporters as well. I actually believe that modern day Christians are far more tolerant than perhaps in my grandparents' times. Anyway, if we are differing let's just agree to differ .... pax

There were the usual £5 and £10 automatic donation machines in the cathedral. It was well worth it to see such a beautiful building. The treasury was disappointing though compared with treasure houses like Durham. That was where the poster about its daily £2,700 upkeep cost was I think.

Castle was English Heritage so free for members. Otherwise £13 too steep for casual guests sadly.
Maybe next time we play there they will have finished all the building work around the station that spoilt some of the views of the fortifications. Bitts Park was another nice play to walk along the River Eden.

Odd to come across a random Reiver statue outside a housing development. I had no idea what it was or represented until I looked it up. A very historic place.

$6m, i imagine they get legacies. Not sure whether there's any central funding from Govt. If any big projects are required, they would do a specific appeal (or crowd fund in today's language) plus grants
