The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Justin Welby, has joined the fray over David Cameron’s Easter message by rebuffing the atheists who tried to say Britian is not a Christian country.<\/p>\n

Defending Church of England faith schools<\/a><\/strong> in the context of the Muslim takeover of schools in \u00a0Birmingham,\u00a0Archbishop Welby said Christian faith was reflected in the “whole way we approach our national life”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Archbishop Welby later wrote in his\u00a0blog<\/a>\u00a0that it was a “historical fact” that UK law, ethics and culture were based on its teachings and traditions.<\/p>\n

Returning to the debate, Archbishop Welby said the UK’s “systems of justice and health, the way we value people, the basic way we look at the human being and the dignity of the human being, reflects the values of Jesus Christ”.<\/p>\n

“We are a deeply Christian country in that way,” he added.<\/p>\n

The Archbishop added that he did not agree with Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg’s claim that the Church would be better able to serve its own interests and those of the country if it was disestablished.<\/p>\n

Christian Voice applauds Archbishop Welby for his comments. \u00a0We are committed to defend Britain’s Protestant Christian heritage\u00a0and the establishment of a national church is part of our Christian identity.<\/p>\n
