Personally I think it's petty and all a bit over the top,haven't we got better things to whinge over?I cant help but wonder though did anyone on here get married in church,have their kids christened and even attended a church funeral ? or did you walk out because you don't believe? serious question.

..thing is though Kaz, it's just a business decision for the cinemas..they can't really risk offending an audience that they're trying to encourage...especially as so much can be streamed etc on the internet now and the cinema is so expensive...

I understand that Ammi ,it just seems that anything traditional to the UK is always 'wrong' in some peoples eyes, like the hanging out of our flags, Christmas ,not being called Christmas ,why do we bend over backwards to always be making sure people aren't offended,I get some people don't believe,that is why I asked the question about ,getting married /funerals and christenings etc.Why would people get offended over something they don't believe in anyway Go to the bog,the ad will be over by the time you get back. I actually find it hard to believe anyone is actually offended it just seems like another excuse for the PC brigade to blow their trumpets,and a blinking row they make too

..well you're just very silly and probably losing out on some great people, for hating people because of their beliefs or because they go to church, rather than, judging them as people...for who they are...

Well, now you've brought that up, that's kind of a swore subject here. Did you know that 96% of "state" run schools here are Religious? (mainly Catholic) and eventhough they are state run and mine and everyone elses taxes pay for them, because they have a Catholic ethos they're allowed to put students trying to enroll who aren't baptised at the bottom of the list. therefore you have alot of parents feeling like they have little choice but to baptise their kids just to ensure they get a place in school in their own area

I was going to post to you about how it is there Niamh , as I know they are quite religious over there , I think it's wrong to HAVE to have your child baptised just to get a school place , no one should be forced to do that if they don't believe.

I don't think anyone can argue against you on this Niamh - honestly. The institutional Church - especially the Roman Catholic have been responsible for some of the biggest iinjustices throughout the centuries.

NO child should ever be 'graded' on ANYTHING except their ability and perhaps inclination to learn.

This is something I did not know and it is disgusting.

..I guess that my thoughts are..(I actually don't care either way in terms of actually having to view the ad myself at the cinema..)...that it's a logical decision to ban it from cinemas ..and anything else that advertises personal religious or political beliefs, because as happened with the Scottish Independence referendum, there was offense taken../with that as well...the yes and no, were both balanced, which obviously had to be done because they couldn't just advertise one or the other...so with this and to make it fair, other religions would also have to be given the same opportunity and especially now, when it's such a difficult time for the Muslim community with much fear provoking many prejudices and we're very much a multi cultural country..so then would it be all religious adverts..?..and not the time or place when enjoying a family movie and having paid quite a bit of money to do so...

Like I said before, it's hollow gestures. People get married in church because it's part of the image of an ideal wedding. Most people get married in a church because of the venue, not because of their religious persuasion. Christening and Church funerals are just part of British tradition. I was christened yet my family has never gone to church on a Sunday and aren't religious in the slightest and it's the same for most people I know.
