Lily Allen has outraged anti-drug groups and religious leaders in her native Britain. Surprise? Not so much. The lippy Limey caused a ruckus by saying that cocaine isn't all that bad and that she doesn't "like Christianity much."

"I know lots of people that take cocaine three nights a week and get up and go to work every day, no problem at all," the singer -- who releases her new album, 'It's Not Me, It's You,' next month -- said in an interview with British magazine Word. "We never hear that side of the story. I have no statement to make. I just wish people wouldn't sensationalize this thing that just exists. The only story is that drugs are bad and they will kill you -- you will become a prostitute, a rapist or a dealer. But that's not true."

As for her religious sentiments, Allen added, "I was brought up in a Catholic school and they told me gays, adultery and drugs were bad. All my mum's friends were gay, my dad was having affairs and there were drugs in the house when I was a kid, so it was a bit cruel."
