Christians have been hounded out of jobs and their values driven
underground thanks to heavy-handed courts, a former Archbishop of
Canterbury has claimed.
Lord Carey said Christians are being treated like bigots and face the same sort of persecution homosexuals were once subjected to.
He also insisted the human rights campaign had gone too far and was now politically driven.
In a direct submission to the European Court of Human Rights, Lord Carey warned that worshippers were being ‘vilified’ and ‘driven underground’ by the judiciary and state.
His attack comes ahead of a landmark ruling on religious freedom by the Strasbourg court on September 4.
BA check-in clerk Nadia Eweida and nurse Shirley Chaplin claim they were discriminated against when their employers banned them from wearing crosses to work.
The court will also hear the cases of a Christian registrar who refused to conduct civil partnership ceremonies and counsellor Gary MacFarlane, sacked for admitting he would feel uncomfortable giving sex therapy to gay couples. Read the rest on: EU Times
