Christianity was brought by the Romans.

No it wasn't. The Romans were polytheists when they arrived in Britain; they were subsequently converted.

I'm sorry, Christianity met Ireland about 200 years after it hit mainland Britain.

I'm sure of you want to google it you wil find out I am correct.

In that instance, the government were OK about it. Some locals were protesting. The Egyptians are probably ashamed of those people as we are of the BNP.

In Egypt, state control of church property is governed by the outdated Ottoman Hamayouni Decree of 1856 & ratified by the Interior Ministry in 1934 as the Alazabi Decree.

This decree sets out certain restrictive conditions which must be met before a church can be built, It also requires the signature of the President before construction can commence - btw no such signature is required in order to build a mosque.

So in order to build a Christian church, the President of the country must sign a resolution to that effect.

Needless to say, none are built.

When the Romans invaded Britain they were not Christian and were converted to Christianity some time later.

"Christianity came at the pagan Anglo-Saxons from two directions. The Celtic Church, pushed back into Wales, Cornwall, and particularly Ireland, made inroads in the north from an early base on Lindisfarne Island. The Roman Catholic Church approached from the south, beginning with the mission of St.Augustine to Aethelbert, King of Kent, in 597."

Constantine was the first roman Christian emperor in 306, about 100 years before the fall of the Romans in Britain. Christianity was praticed in Britain by the 3rd century. When you go to Schools with the names "Out Lady of the Missions" "St Ninians " and "St Aloysius' College" they do not let you forget these things.

And what they taught you was wrong. The Holy Roman Christian Church has a reputation for that.

Christianity was brought to Britain by missionaries, not by the entire Roman empire magically converting overnight.
