The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has published the results of their largest ever public consultation regarding the day-to-day experience of believers in Britain.
It has shown that many Christians fear their faith is losing its place in society and in particular in their workplace. Christians – the largest group to respond to the consultation – reported that they felt discriminated against when expressing their beliefs at work.
Dr Don Horrocks, head of public affairs at the Evangelical Alliance, commented: ‘We warmly welcome the new constructive tone from the Commission and that they finally seem to be trying to take religion and belief seriously. This comes after many years of largely ignoring Christians and actually opposing their concerns in the courts.
