Banksy and the Cardinal Sin of Blasphemy

By Cressida Smart

The unveiling of a controversial Banksy sculpture this week coincided with David Cameron’s speech whereby he stated that the UK is a Christian country. Banksy follows a long line of figures in art and literature who have spoken out against religion. However, when it comes to airing controversial views on Christianity, I would argue their treatment is less favourable than offensive material against other world religions.
