For goodness sake! They are red because natural poppies are red, and that's the colour they grew on the battlefields. They are symbolic of the sacrifices of war, and the memory of those who died for their country - nothing to do with religion! I would actually be quite offended if white poppies were brought in. It is fiddling with history and belittles the memory of those who died, trying to change the meaning somehow.
Get a real job, think-tank.
