It is often claimed that great britain is one of the most secular nations on earth, but ian bradley argues that 'britishness' like the overlapping crosses on the 400-year-old union flag is best understood in religious terms.He maintains that the idea of 'being british' has special value as a broad church measure of spiritual and cultural inclusiveness
And as a positive alternative to fundamentalism, narrow nationalism and jingoism.The author explores various distinctive contributions to britishness made over the centuries by the celts, the anglo-saxons, the scots, and the new black and asian britons.Looking to a new sense of british identity that combines myth, imagination and tradition with an open-minded respect for difference, believing in britain makes a thoughtful and challenging contribution to one of the most important discussions of our time.
