This relates to the BBC - the legally-binding mandate of which stipulates balance and objectivity:

I’d be interested to know everyone’s views from both sides of the Atlantic about media attitudes to Christianity?

For my part, I feel that in the UK, efforts to accommodate the needs and feelings of minority groups have had the effect of sidelining Christianity and the role it has traditionally played in western society.

I am be wrong, but my sense is that the article (and poll results) concerns BBC programming, rather than BBC News. Is this correct?

I do listen to BBC World Service from time to time, but I am not very familiar with BBC programs such as East Enders or Thought for the Day.

Here is the Daily Mail article on which the Telegraph article seems based.

Primarily programming, as religious affairs are rarely reported in the news.
