Stephen Green is a British fundamentalist Christian and Christian Zionist campaigner and the leader of the Christian Voice organization.

Green converted from Anglicanism to fundamentalist Christianity, and now attends an Assemblies of God Church. He has worked in the building trade. In the early 1990s Green was a prominent campaigner against homosexuality through the Conservative Family Campaign, and wrote a book called "The Sexual Dead-End" giving his opinions in detail. On September 2, 2006, Green was arrested in Cardiff at the city's Mardi Gras for distributing disruptive pamphlets. On Thursday, September 28, 2006, the case against Stephen Green was dropped by Cardiff Magistrates Court, as there was no evidence to present against the defendant.[1]

He featured heavily in the documentary Dispatches - In God's Name. In the film at a small rally to protest the building of a mosque, he made a number of comments against Islam, these included saying that both himself and his group believe that "Allah is Satan, Allah is the spirit of Satan" and he went on to say that Islam was the product of a non-righteous spirit and "the obvious candidate is the prince of darkness, the father of all lies, Satan himself." He finished by saying Islam was "of the pit of hell".[2]
