Is militant secularisation a bad thing?
// Britain is under threat from a rising tide of "militant secularisation", a cabinet minister has warned.
Religion is being "sidelined, marginalised and downgraded in the public sphere", Conservative co-chairwoman Baroness Warsi wrote in an article for the Daily Telegraph. //
I believe that your religion, be you christian, muslim or jew is a private matter. The state should not promote, encourage or discriminate in favour of any religion. I see increased secularism as a triumph not a loss. I totally disagree with Baroness Warsi.

separate religion from schools, it's wrong to have the two together, if you have a faith then take your child to a church, mosque, synagogue.
That isn't going to happen i am sure, and the more faith schools we have the greater the divide in our society.
I dislike the term militant anything, that should not be part of our society.

I agree... there should be no special allowance for faith in the workplace, access to public services no 'church of England' no arguing the right to wear religious symbols if they breach an agreed dress code or affect health and safety... no hiding of faces in the streets but balance this with respect and acceptance of the practice of religion in the home....protection of churches, temples and mosques from attack
"More than 4 in 10 in England regard themselves as belonging"...to the Church of England.
That quote is from the Church of England's own web-site and I think we all know what it actually MEANS...the vast bulk of them will make use of it for christenings, marriages and funerals as well as Christmas Eve but otherwise stay away!
So, fewer than half of England's population and much less than that in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have anything to do with the organisation.
Why, then, do we still have 26 bishops of this minority sect in our UK - not just English - legislature, the House of Lords? It's the "Established Church" only in England.
The sooner we get total secularisation in British society the better, in my view, and we should start by (a) dismissing the bishops from government and (b) forbidding religious schools. Northern Ireland's problems, for example, would long since have been sorted out if all its children had gone to the NEAREST primary school rather than the nearest SECTARIAN school.
