Christians fear their religion is losing its place in society
The Equality and Human Rights Commission has published a report that highlights the widespread confusion and misunderstanding about the laws protecting freedom of religion or belief.
Nearly 2,500 people contributed to the research. Most of the responses came from Christians, some of whom say they fear their religion is losing its position in the workplace and in society more generally.
Christians complained of being mocked as bigots, sometimes because of their stance on same-sex relationships.
