Cameron and Christianity

Just in time for Easter, David Cameron has attempted to claw back some of the Christian support he seems to have lost. At an official reception for Christian leaders in Downing Street today, he waxed spiritual:

‘Easter week is a very important moment in the Christian calendar. So I would like to extend my best wishes to everyone here in the United Kingdom, and across the world, at this special time of year. This is the time when, as Christians, we remember the life, sacrifice and living legacy of Christ. The New Testament tells us so much about the character of Jesus; a man of incomparable compassion, generosity, grace, humility and love. These are the values that Jesus embraced, and I believe these are values people of any faith, or no faith, can also share in, and admire. It is values like these that make our country what it is — a place which is tolerant, generous and caring.
