Archbishop of Canterbury: "Wearing a Cross is just a “Religious Decoration."

Amidst a titanic struggle that's just beginning to emerge between Christians and their government overlords in the UK where the government is arguing that Christians have no right to wear cross at work, the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr. Rowan Williams said that wearing a cross is just a “religious decoration” for many people and not an essential part of Christianity.

While he's right in that for many people the cross that hangs around their neck has little relevance to their life, the timing of his remarks couldn't be worse.

Dr Rowan Williams said the cross had become something “which religious people make and hang on to” as a substitute for true faith. (Hey, isn't that how Obama described flag pins to patriotism?)
