Celebrating Christ Claudia Sonea

How could we celebrate Christmas without celebrating Christ, in fact he's the one we praise in our carols, his birth is the one generating the joy. Well, Britons think they can despite the urging of officials and religious leaders to keep the Savior. After the suicide bombings of British Islamists from July 2005 when 52 persons have been killed the United Kingdom and Europe there was a debate on religion and integration in Britain that led to the fear of creating Christianophobia if the traditions and beliefs are popularized. However, Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims together with Britain's equality watchdog gave an important lesson to Britons urging them to enjoy Christmas without worrying about what other religions might think. Celebrating your holidays don't make discrimination, other things do. All religions have their own holidays. Trevor Phillips, chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission stated that it should be normal to make a big fuss about Christmas and even more about Christ; after all it is his birth that we all celebrate. He advised to stop with the non sense and just enjoy everything, leaving aside the fear of offending minorities in multicultural Britain. Furthermore, Conservative Parliamentarian Mark Pritchard underlined that the officials, the media and even Royal Mail to mark Christian festivals and traditions show evidence of reluctance in order to not raise Christianophobia. The Evangelical Alliance UK (EAUK), representing over one million evangelical Christians, created this sudden interest after backing a debate on Christianophobia and its evolution. According to Parliamentarian Alistair Burt, an EAUK council member, the nation would have much to suffer if Britain's faith heritage is marginalized and after the surveys published Wednesday, December 12, showing that only 12 percent of adults in Britain have detailed knowledge of the Christmas story, he might just be right. He added that it is a must to improve Christian knowledge as the correlation between happiness and religious faith is very strong. Believe in everything you want without preventing others to believe as well and there will be no more religious conflicts. Celebrate Christ, the Savior.
