In the 2001 census 72% of Britons said they were Christians. But now the country is a sequential removal of Christian symbols of Christmas. This is due to the fact that Britain has become a multi-religious country, Christian symbolism may offend religious minorities motivated. For example, in 1998 in Birmingham, announced that the local festivals are named, not Christmas (this word is difficult to remove the root of Christ), and Winterval (winter, "winter" + Festival "Festival"). On Christmas stamps this year, so Santa and his reindeer. However, jumped over Christmas for Muslims - the largest and most active minority religious. The former Muslims said that the honor of Christmas and the supporters of that political correctness inappropriate played into the hands of extremists, creating a confrontation between Muslim and Christian communities in British culture.
