Re: gays not welcomed
Well, I'm confused. Your post seemed to me to say that the world has moved on and you accept gay marriage is part of that evolution. paulry endorsed the post.
It seems like we're done here, no one is holding out against gay marriage any more.

'In the latter half of the 20th century, the category of "world religion" fell into serious question, especially for drawing parallels between vastly different cultures, and thereby creating an arbitrary separation between the religious and the secular.[6] Even history professors have now taken note of these complications and advise against teaching "world religions" in schools.[7] Others see the shaping of religions in the context of the nation-state as the "invention of traditions".'
I accept that most people in the world belong to some sort of tradition. It is, however, a huge leap from that to the idea that most people believe in some form of religion.

I don't think I have a quibble with Wiki, from your link:

Re: gays not welcomed
I have met people from Christian, Jewish and Muslim backgrounds who identify with their group but are happy to say they do not believe in God.
