Has anyone else ever had to deal with people who believe that England was a peaceful place before Christians showed up?

Yes, New Age Pagans you mean.

They picket archaeological digs when a 5000 year old archaeological site is discovered and jeer at the archaeologists digging it up complaining they are indiginous Britains and this is the grave of one of their ancestors being defiled.

Similarly they think pre-roman Britain was a hippy love fest and everyone was living in harmony with nature worshipping Gaia.

Then again they're no worse than the Britain was a romantic warrior society mob.
