Wide Awake Media seem to have fallen asleep when they promoted the following.

Nigel Farage says…
"Whether we're churchgoers or not, everything about our country, everything about our culture, is based on Judeo-Christian values."
He even got a rousing round of applause from his equally dim audience, for this wildly erroneous statement.
Nigel may be right about plenty of things, but he’s flown over the cuckoo’s nest with this misleading, pro-fundamentalist, quote.
Let’s consider the following.
Farming and agriculture were invented by PagansMilitary defence was invented by Pagans.
Architecture was invented by Pagans.
Roads were invented by Pagans.
Coinage was invented by Pagans.
The original traders and merchants were Pagans.
Central heating was invented by Pagans.
Clothing and fashion were invented by Pagans.
Art and philosophy were an expression of the earliest Pagans cultures.
Modern religious traditions, festivals and customs were hijacked from Paganism.
Medicine was invented by Pagans.
Writing was invented by Pagans.
Marine travel was invented by Pagans.
Laws were invented by Paganism.
Democracy was a Pagan invention.
Metalwork was invented by Pagans.
The list is endless. Therefore, why is Nigel Farage trying to tell us that…“Everything about our culture, is based on Judeo-Christian values”
Misleading, click bait, political statements aimed at cultivating support from the well-indoctrinated religious faithful may seem like a good idea to some but whatever happened to accuracy and truth?
Centuries ago, intolerant missionary activists, from foreign shores, promoting their unbalanced monotheistic ethos stole everything from our ancient Pagan ancestors.
However, Mr (or should it be Pastor?) Farage seems quite oblivious to this fact or was it a case or "Sod it, let's have another pint of real ale"

In which case, Pastor Nigel needs to recall that Pagans invented 'boozing' too!
