The British government is diligently fighting against the right of employees to wear a cross on the job. This all started with Nadia Eweida who was suspended by British Airways for wear a cross at work.

This is so absurd that even secular onlookers are aghast:

If I were Nadia Eweida, I would be starting to think that the whole world had gone completely mad. You remember Nadia, the mild-looking BA worker who found herself suspended because she wore a tiny little cross round her neck for work. Everyone took her side, back in 2006. The entire British press was convulsed with indignation. There were debates in the House of Commons.

Rowan Williams, however, exercised his uncanny knack for coming down on the wrong side of an issue by saying that wearing a cross:

had become something “which religious people make and hang on to” as a substitute for true faith.
He made his comments on the day it emerged that the Government is to argue in the European Court that Christians do not have the “right” to wear a cross as a visible manifestation of faith.

And people wonder why the Church of England is becoming irrelevant.
