Why in a Christian country are some fearing to admit their faith in their own workplaces even never mind about abroad?

/// Lord Carey, who was Archbishop of Canterbury until 2002, said he is “worried about the future of faith in the West” as he highlighted an “increasing timidity” among churchgoers, with some fearing to admit faith in their own workplaces. ///

Even on this site we witness Christianity being regularly criticised, while some will go to greats lengths to give support to the Islamic religion who in my opinion has more to be criticised over.

/// Speaking at a reception at Clarence House, the Prince of Wales told assembled guests the world is in danger of losing something “irreplaceably precious” with 2,000-year-old communities under threat from fundamentalist Islamist militants ///

Christians are certainly suffering in other countries, but I can't say I've noticed it in this country. The CofE has less church-going members than it used to, but the Happy Clappy brands seem to be doing alright. Additionally, the number of believers can't be gauged by the numbers regularly attending church. There are a lot out there who rarely set foot inside a church.

going on our local church it would seem to be on the wane, whilst Islamic adherents are on the up...
