Britain government to argue against Christian crosses at work

[1]

The Government in Britain is all set to fight a landmark case arguing Christians have no fundamental right to wear a cross at work.

The case will be fought at the European Court of Human Rights in which two British women will seek to establish their right to display the cross, according to a report in The Telgraph

A government document accessed by the newspaper argues wearing a cross 'is not a requirement of the Christian faith', and employers can go ahead and ban workers from wearing one. Employees can even be sacked for violating the ban - indicating that the ruling will be non-negotiable.

The government's stand has already received much flak from various faith groups. Lord Carey, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, was quoted by The Telegraph accusing minister of 'dictating' to Christians and claimed the stand was 'another example of Christianity becoming sidelined in official life'.
