The fact remains, Yorick, that he DIDNT say difference, he said 'supremacy of our civilisation' and 'superiority of our society'. I think I'll go with my reactions to what he did say, rather than what he could have said if he'd chosen to.
I take your point re very different civilisations, however, Britain's history goes back a long way before christianity was imported into this country by the Romans. Judeo-christianity are amongst the roots of our civilisation, along with many other factors. Greek thought, for example, not to mention the old nature worship which is deeply ingrained here. That doesn't invalidate your point however, as the influences are still very different.
