Last time I checked, there are 26 CoE bishops in the house of lords who have a full and active roll in the work of the upper house.
So surely if any legislation has gone through discriminating against christians, it's partly the CoE's fault for having incompetent bishops in the lords?

If those at Nicea plotting the future of christianity has any real foresight they'd have invented a scripture stating that christians must wear a symbol of their faith. They didn't, so any such symbol worn is just jewlery rather than a religious requirement so therefore it is not discrimination to have a dress code banning jewlery.

The CoE, like most organised religions, are concerned with bums on seats. Run out of them and you lose your legitimacy of existance.
It's how all religions die.
