Freedom of religion...

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

I agree with those who say that any kind of religious invocation is inappropriate at such meetings.

However, if there are deemed necessary restricting the invocation to any one belief is anti-democratic. I see nothing wrong with a mutual statement of democratic intent at such, though I would guess even that would stick in the throsts of some!

Thomas Jefferson said that "All men are created equal". I say that "All Gods were created equal!" That's what Atheists believe in. However, as George Orwell puts it, "Some are more equal than others". That's what every Theist agrees to because he believes that his is the only real God, all the others are phonies. I just believe in one God less than he does!
