The concept of the secular is normally thought of as standing in opposition to religion yet many are unaware that it originally developed within a religious context. Rather than an atheistic conspiracy to undermine Christian civilization, secularism was originally developed for the sake of preserving peace among Christians. The idea of secularism can be found as early as the Christian theologian Augustine, who developed a systematic division by distinguishing between two "cities," one that ordered the things of the earth (civitas terrenae) and one that was ordered by God (civitas dei).
The final push towards widespread secularisation was not caused by anti-Christian secularists but by devoted Christians who were shocked by the devastation caused by the religious wars sweeping across Europe in the wake of the Reformation. This forced a reduction of explicit references to specific Christian doctrines. In the long run, this meant that the Church became increasingly excluded from political affairs as the people found that they appreciated having a realm of thought and action where they could be free from ecclesiastical influence and authority.

"Ours is the first generation that has at its fingertips, through the development of technology, the means to solve the world's problems. But the problem is one of control. And that is why it is important to vote if everybody voted we would have the most radical government ever." Tony Benn

If you support paedophiles, just admit it. At least allow those of us who find child abuse disgusting, free access to comment on your videos
Walter Wolfgang heckled Toy Blair at the Labour Party conference during his speech.
Whereas Dominic Kennedy was forcibly and violently expelled from the BNP 'press conference' because Dicky Barnbrook didn't like the article Dominic Kennedy wrote about him 48hrs before in the Times.
Theres a big difference between the two events.
"Mr Kennedy was not attending the meeting covertly. He had expressly been invited to report on it by Simon Darby, the partys national press officer. On pointing this out, Mr Kennedy was physically ejected."
