		<description><![CDATA[The UK Government has passed a law which means that fortune-tellers, mediums, spiritualists and other peddlers of the supernatural must label their services as &#8216;entertainment only&#8217;. I can think of a few other organisations that should do that. In &#8216;Fighting fraud in the spiritual realm&#8216;, I said how I felt this law should be extended [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The four votes on aspects of the Embryology Bill in the UK presented an opportunity for the religiously blinkered to put narrow-minded dogma before compassion and scientific progress. They were soundly and properly trounced. It&#8217;s always good to see reason prevail. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill represents the most important development in fertility law [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spiritualists, psychics and other frauds are up in arms about a proposed change to UK law that will make them prove their claims (how did they not see that coming?). But the law doesn&#8217;t go far enough: it&#8217;s time to extend it to all religion. According to the report on the BBC website, &#8216;There may [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the intemperate controversy surrounding the Archbishop of Canterbury&#8217;s unwise remarks about Sharia, there are several voices &#8211; and not just muslims &#8211; pleading for a more liberal view of Islamic law. And they nearly all miss the more important point: why should religion play any part in shaping a nation&#8217;s laws? Certainly, there has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, has once again proven how distant he is from reality by suggesting that UK law might incorporate some elements of Sharia. His statements have been widely condemned, but they are not entirely surprising. It is another example of how those infected with religion consider that faith always takes [...]]]></description>

But the religiously oriented regime in which she was convicted remains unchanged. Who will be its next victim? It was an act of pure malice. The school secretary, who had been fired, reported [...]]]></description>

But a totalitarian state feeds on laws, twisting them to its own ends. And the problem is, they often seem so reasonable at the time. Not that everyone is happy about the Terrorism [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The hopeless dreams of anarchists aside, it seems a given that societies need rules. To live communally, and to mutually benefit from that proximity, we have to know what is and is not permissible. It&#8217;s not an easy decision, that&#8217;s why society sustains, in grand style, an entire section of its population that it otherwise [...]]]></description>
