"We cannot avoid the need to re-state what ought to be, but seemingly are not, well understood principles regulating the relationship of religion and law in our society.
We live in this country in a democratic and pluralistic society, in a secular state not a theocracy.
Although historically this country is part of the Christian West, and although it has an established church which is Christian, there have been enormous changes in the social and religious life of our country over the last century.
Our society is now pluralistic and largely secular. We sit as secular judges serving a multi-cultural community of many faiths. The laws and usages of the realm do not include Christianity, in whatever form.
The aphorism that “Christianity is part of the common law of England” is mere rhetoric.

Now, all you twunts at the Christian Legal Centre who keep bringing all these fucking ridiculous cases kindly sod off and stop bothering the rest of us.
