I would really like to know what moral standards come forth from the Protestant Church of England. As far as I'm aware, the tenets of this religion are a strong work ethic, dog-eat-dog competitiveness, and a socially stratified society all covered over with a thin veneer of a watered down and shallow travesty of Christianity.
Protestant Christianity hatched the mouldy egg of liberalism which is the summary term for the most derisory moral standards possible.
