David Cameron has written us an Easter message where he makes his "belief in the importance of Christianity absolutely clear". I wasn't quite sure what this meant so I read on. Did he mean he will be making his belief in Christianity clear or making clear his belief in its importance? Cameron then concedes that "some argue that celebrating Easter somehow marginalises other religions" but he bravely remains an "unapologetic supporter of the role of faith." Faith that is, rather than Christianity. The prime minister, to be fair, does then say that the 'Christian message' is the bedrock of a good society and then elaborates: "The biggest area where leadership has been needed over the last five years is in our economy. We came into office at a time of exceptional pressure on the national finances." I still felt confused about what his Easter message to Christians actually meant so I persevered. Finally, David Cameron spelt out what is "at the heart of the Christian message":
