The government said the change was relevant to bodies such as humanists, who are classed as religious rather than non-religious at the moment. The Free Church of Scotland has raised concerns about religious and civil partnership ceremonies being joined by a third category. Church spokesman, the Reverend Iver Martin, told BBC Alba: "The third category is quite astonishing because it is the so-called belief category without really defining what belief means." "There are loads of people in a diverse society like this for whom belief can mean virtually anything - the Flat Earth Society and Jedi Knights Society - who knows? I am not saying that we don't give place to that kind of personal belief, but when you start making allowances for marriages to be performed within those categories then you are all over the place." The Scottish government is holding public consultation on bill.[/quote] Thoughts? I'm not sure what to think of this....but hooray for marriage equality!
