Here are some amazing statistics from the "Christmas starts with Christ" campaign, backed by the Church of England and other august bodies. According to them
- only 12 per cent of adults in the UK know the nativity story
- more than one-third of British children don’t know whose birthday it is
- 51 per cent of people now say that the birth of Jesus is irrelevant to their Christmas.
Even if you're one of those people who doesn't believe in Him, I think you should be alarmed. All those people are kept in ignorance about their roots, the history, culture and ethics of the society in which they live - if you can call it living when you're just dreaming of mince pies and getting more stuff.
