I'm a Christian. I voted to leave. And I don't regret it. Premier Christianity

Peter D Williams explains why his Christian values led him to vote to Leave and why he believes the UK's future is better out than in. 

Last Thursday, the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. As a Christian Brexiteer, I’m delighted, but not every one of my brothers and sisters in Christ share my elation. Many of them perceive voting to Leave as an endorsement of an anti-Christian politics of fear, xenophobia, and prejudice, one that rejects peace, unity, and international brotherhood. Suffice it to say, I think they are mistaken. Despite the brief division and disappointment, in the long run this historic decision is a good thing for Christian values, one that is in keeping with the counter-cultural nature of our faith. 

Whether Britain should have been a member of the EU was not, contrary to what the main campaigns would have had you believe, about the economy, or immigration. Nor was the debate about whether or not you like Europe or Europeans, or whether or not you like either the Leave or Remain campaigns and how they prosecuted their respective cases.
