Almost half of all Christians in the UK have never been mocked, excluded or reprimanded for their faith, according to a poll commissioned by the Sunday Telegraph.

Of the 512 Christians interviewed from a range of churches, 5% believed they have missed out on promotion because of their faith and 44% said they have been mocked. 10% had been rejected by family and 6% have been rebuked at work for sharing their faith. 47% had experienced no such thing.
