I'm British. This is a Judeo-Christian country.

That is an interesting turn of phrase. In the past, I have always heard the UK described as a "Christian" country. It looks like my luck is in today, and I will be learning two new things :) So, what is the difference between "Christian" and "Judeo-Christian"?

Yes, I remember that.

So, you seem to be saying that the word Christian should really be replaced by the word Judeo-Christian? I have not come across this argument before :)

I wonder what the three billion people who call themsleves Christians will think? Or the Pope, for that matter!
 
I used to spend many afternoons walking down to what we knew as the Crusaders fortress on the bank of the River Jordan. Didn't look like a fortress to me, just a hill with a few rocks on top. I used to take my then girlfriend (a dancer from Bournemouth) there. I told her it was an old Crusader fortress, she said 'are you sure, it doesn't look like one'.
Many many years later I found an article online about excavations at 'Ateret Fortress' where they unearthed the remains of decapitated crusaders.
