Bishop disappointed as figures show lack of religious Christmas cards in supermarkets

A bishop has voiced his disappointment after a survey showed that little more than one in 200 Christmas cards sold individually by Britain's four major supermarkets featured religious themes, it was reported today.

One campaigner said there appeared to be an "aversion" to the display of Christianity in public.

A snapshot poll by the Daily Mail showed that of 6,576 cards sold individually by Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons, only 36 - just over 0.5% - featured scenes such as Jesus in a manger or angels.

Figures for multi-packs showed that just 5% of the 1,337 on sale contained at least one card that reflected the Christmas message.

The survey found one store, a Tesco in Manchester did not have a single religious card on sale while many others had just one or two, the Mail reported.

Asda had just four Christian cards out of 2,638 - 0.15% - sold individually across all the stores visited.

Well, I wouldn't be ashamed buying or gifting few of these cards...they are quite hilarious.
