Summary

A recent report on faith and public life in the UK recommended cutting back the role of Christianity to make space for other faiths and humanist points of view. Mail on Sunday columnist Peter Hitchens says the report's recommendations further undercut the Christian heritage that has allowed the UK to flourish. Terry Sanderson says the report does not go far enough in banishing religious privilege. They debate whether the UK should hold on to its Christian heritage.
