'Not Ashamed' UK Christians launch fightback

Christians who claim they have been discriminated against in the workplace because of their faith this week gathered outside Parliament to prepare for a new campaign, Not Ashamed, to be launched on 1 December. Ruth Gledhill of The Times gained this exclusive footage of the protest.

Tomorrow, lawyers respond.

From their press release:
CHRISTIANS, subject to 'discrimination' in schools and work-places as a result of being open about their Christian beliefs, have launched a nation-wide 'Not Ashamed' campaign. They are urging Christians across the country to stand together. Christians whose plight have been highlighted by the national media, including Shirley Chaplin, Olive Jones, Sheila Matthews, Andrew McClintock, Gary McFarlane and Lydia Playfoot, launched the campaign outside Parliament.
Campaign organiser, Christian Concern for our Nation, is urging Christians to wear the 'Not Ashamed' logo during Advent this year, and especially on Wednesday 1st December (01DEC) - 'Not Ashamed Day'.

What a crock, the "current situation" is she lost her case, because wearing a cross is not a requirement of being a Christian, most work places have dress codes, I'd rather wear something more comfortable than a suit, but I'd be sacked if I insisted on wearing shorts and a t-shirt, why does this woman think she should be exempt?

Christians are the best

Well done, thank you for this video. I think things said are quite reasonable. And I do think giving kids for adoption shouldnt be ligal at least up to an age when they can decide for themselves wheather they would want to stay with homosexual parents, otherwise its not fair on the child, at least.

@hardreality1000 exactly!

Why do christians act like they are under attack, they are over represented in government, we have unelected members of the church in government. If you are poor and want a decent education you have to go to church. Its Government sponsored discrimination and indocrination.

Religion is a dying cause. There is no place for it in the future. You had your time, now science and logical thinking will have its time. Practice it if you wish, just don't make a big deal out of it.

@gavinmatthewcox123 secular humanism and evolution aren't religions...

[BertFicuselastica]

@gavinmatthewcox123 Evolution is not a religion.

[hardreality1000]

Christians are God's people and that's why satan is fighting us wherever we are. We have to stand still and fight for our rights all over the globe.

@gavinmatthewcox123 Are you saying that we should not teach Evolution in schools?
