We begin with a post by BNP Legal Director Lee Barnes on ‘The Betrayal of Europe by the Churches’:
Europeans have not abandoned Christianity, Christianity abandoned Christianity.
The Churches are filled with superstitious immigrants busy doing exorcisms on children who they see as ‘witches’ and who will fill the collection plates when some charlatan in a frock shoves it beneath their nose.
The churches are filled with Marxists in the grip of political correctness and who spend more time defending the rights of immigrants and the desirability of mass immigration.
Even the idiots like Carey are busy attacking the ONLY party that will end mass immigration and defend British culture.
Therefore the problem is the Churches, not secularisation.
I don’t know when Barnes last dropped in on a Sunday morning C of E service, but the idea that churches up and down the land are ‘filled with superstitious immigrants’ and ‘filled with Marxists’ would come as surprising news to the average churchgoer. Next time ‘Songs of Praise’ is on I shall watch with interest for evidence of masses of ’superstitious immigrants’ carrying out ‘exorcisms’ and will be particularly interested to see how the vicar manages to weave The Communist Manifesto and Capital into his or her sermon.
For those cognisant of the Barnsian worldview, it is somewhat strange to see him showing an interest in Christianity and the Church anyway. Previously, the Legal Director has pronounced Christianity ‘dead’ and the Church a ‘meaningless empty behemoth’, soon to be replaced by a return of ‘the archaic spirituality of the West’.
According to Barnes, the arrival of Christianity in Europe ‘had turned [sic] the natural, organic religions of Europe based on the symbolism of the tree, a living and growing symbol of perpetual life with the dead symbol of the cross’. Moses, Christ, Saints, and Popes are ‘icons of death’ that ‘must be replaced by a living, organic religion which allows our people to reconnect once more with nature, the earth and the divine unfolding of the spiritual within the material and within Man’.
Barnes is no fan of Christianity, and holds it responsible for ‘the ecologicl [sic] crisis of today’, because it ‘despises the planet’. He thinks it an unsuitable religion for white people because
Christianity is a semitic religion, it is creature of the deserts of the Middle East not the forests of the Northern Europe and its symbol the cross is an instrument of torture not of living redemption.
In its place he advocates Odinism and explains the Odinic ‘Tree of Life’ or ‘world tree’ (Yggdrasil) as follows:
The roots represent our descent from the Gods and our connection to the Earth, the trunk represents our shared European racial heritage, the main branches of the tree our nations and tribes, the twigs on each branch represent each family unit and each single leaf symbolises an individual life.
Barnes looks forward to the total disappearance of Christianity from Europe and the coming of a ‘new age’ centred on Odin:
The death of Christianity and the conflagration that will result from the bonfire of the vanities of liberalism are the cleansing fires of a new age.
After the fire the green shoots of new life always spring from the scorched earth.
…
Odin Is Rising.
Remember all this next time you hear him bleating about the Church letting down Christians. Also remember this next time you hear Nick Griffin claiming the BNP stands for Christianity.

You can hardly paint the BNP with the same brush as Lee Barnes. I personally know many good Christians in the BNP, particularly those of the Reformed persuasion.
