I wish I'd written down the exact phrase used this morning (I think by the Archbishop of York): no laws should conflict with matters of conscience. So if your religion thought white people superior to your colonial cousins or you believe women should sit quietly at the back or walk paces behind, that's okay then.
I have to say I have problems with a universal right of parenthood, and the right of adoptive parenthood, but it has to be on a case by case basis. What are the Catholics/C of E afraid of? (It's potentially a cheap shot, but now is not the time for religious organisations to lecture us about child abuse, nor has it ever been - not that child abuse is limited to the religious.)

loosely translated as: we should be allowed to be homophobic because we're religious bigots.
