Temo: Re: I wonder why gay people are so keen on joining such an iffy proposition other than for the legal aspects.
The Col: The only influence directly the UK's clergy has, is in the House of Lords. These are Bishops, but they only account for 3% of the members of that chamber. N' they are of course from the Church of England, our national faith as set up by King Henry VIII so he could get divorced.

We do have extreme right wing Christians, but they do tend to be based on imported evangelical ministries via the USA, or USA taught African churches. Yet the same laws that have worked on the Extreme Muslim Clerics apply to them.

Our MP's and Lords (other than the Bishops) would never use the Bible as a means to get votes, the British public just wouldn't wear it. We know full well from history (as it is taught in school) what extreme Christianity can do. We had Cromwell and the likes of James I ... Even Queen Mary found that once the CoE was formed she could not turn the country back to Catholicism and gave up.

Religions are kept to being of spirituality, their proper place.
