My Lords, that is the same answer that has been given many times now as we go round this course. We quite understand that human beliefs that are non-religious will never be accepted as expressly on a par. The Government are quite obdurate on that in a most remarkable manner. However, it enlarges—I am sure he will agree; he must have thought about this many times as we have met so often on this subject—the importance of the word ““religion””. I do not want to catch the Minister out on this. If he does not have a note on the matter perhaps he can write to noble Lords. Does religion involve worship?
