Dear Editor
As a committed Independent reader, and a Christian, I concur with the views expressed in the editorial of 2 January.
Over the centuries commentators have noted that the favouring of Christianity by Emperor Constantine came not only with advantages, but also with costs. I feel that Christianity’s place in our society is shifting to one which is potentially closer to that described in accounts of the early church.
I do not object to pictures of the Pope kissing a lacquered baby Jesus (picture on the front cover of 2nd January), but whenever The Independent challenges abuse of the poor, exposes corruption, and promotes minority rights, it perhaps unwittingly promotes “true religion”.
