Militant secularisation: faith can be positive for society says David Cameron Mr Cameron said: "Our relationship with the Holy See is an important one and it speaks powerfully of the positive contribution faith can make to all societies. When Pope Benedict made his momentous visit to Britain in 2010, we agreed there was a case for ever closer co-operation between the UK and the Holy See. Together we can make a positive contribution to important global issues such as tackling climate change, promoting multi-faith dialogue, striving for peace and fighting poverty. That's why I am sending a senior Government delegation to the Holy See, led by Baroness Warsi. Baroness Warsi leads an unprecedented government delegation to the Vatican where she will be received by Pope Benedict for a private audience on Wednesday. She will say: "Confidence in our own beliefs enables us to defend attacks on others. Persecution somehwere is persecution everywhere. If you oppress my neighbour you are oppressing me. It comes as a report conducted for the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science (UK) suggested that almost three quarters (74 per cent) of Christians polled agreed that religion should not influence public policy, while only about one in eight (12 per cent) thought it should, the survey found. It also found that 92 per cent of Christians agreed the law should apply to everyone equally, regardless of their personal religious beliefs.
