THE Archbishop of Canterbury's view that the UK is "a deeply Christian country" is a "self-serving claim" and his church is "banging the religious drum", according to a secular campaign group.
The comments come after the Most Rev Justin Welby defended faith schools, pointing out they are often in the poorest parts of the country.
But the National Secular Society said Church of England schools "prioritise evangelisation over serving the population who are steadily abandoning his pews".
