I can see why vicars want people to be baptised before marrying them in Church. It shows a bit more commitment to the faith. If you are not religious then you shoudn't be getting married in Church, in my opinion.

They obviously never undertook this survey in places like Israel.

I agree I would have to abide by stricter rules if I wanted to get married in a Mosque or a Synagogue. It's just about respecting other peoples religions. If you don't want to then don't people shouldn't presume you have the right to disrespect/disregard what they believe.

I went to St Wilfrids in Blackburn and to get in there you had to have a letter at the time to say you was a regular C of E church goer, if not you didn't get in unless for other reasons i.e. Your sibling was also at the school etc.

My family took me to church every Sunday without fail till I was old enough to realise I had better things to do on a Sunday morning like stay in bed .

I personally think some religion brings a lot more hate to an already messed up world but all people think differently.
