"These Christians could at least have the good grace to accept that they lost the argument."

So commented an EU official when discussing the fact that over 1 million christians have signed a petition calling for changes to the constitution recognising Europe's Christian heritage.

The article reports that:

Refusing to accept a secular "fait accompli" from Brussels, a Christian coalition is demanding that each EU state publish its version of the constitution's preamble, with references to God if desired.

Already armed with 1,149,000 signatures and with thousands more pouring in from Holland since the murder of the film-maker Theo van Gogh, the group claims that most states want some reference to Christianity but were blocked by France.
