I don't see it as an issue of free speech being curtailed if the same rule applies to any religious or political advertisement. Honestly it makes sense, the reason you go to a movie is to switch out of real life for a while, not to have to listen to a propaganda piece.

We've been fed Jewish crap by Hollywood for years, why not have some Christian advertising?

Religion should be regulated like smoking and drinking. It should be illegal to expose children to it. Ban Religion until the age of 18 and see what happens to the numbers. They survive by indoctrinating children from a young age through fear tactics.

To expand on my previous post - we are fed blatant propaganda by Hollywood/US producers anyway. Every film has political/religious and moral messages throughout - each seeming to suit mainly a low brow American audience anyhow. Why not just go the whole hog and advertise religion?

I think whoever decided to ban the Lord's Prayer at cinemas is a politically correct t***. Maybe they should ban Christmas movies, just in case someone gets offended...

I believe in freedom of expression but I'm happy to see the suppression of religious nonsense. That said, I would rather see a move toward counter education taught in schools and in the media to expose religion for what I believe it really is.

If ALL political and religious adverts are banned at the cinema then I don't see what the problem is. I'd like to see all adverts, except for forthcoming films and (maybe) the local restaurants, banned.

It's Christmas the clue is in the name. You can stick your coca cola Christmas up your arse. It is unbelievable that leading up to Christmas something as simple as the Lords Prayer is not allowed to be advertised but everyone creams their pants over Waitrose / John Lewis whatever adverts. I am not religious but we are a Christian country, why shouldn't the Lord's Prayer be advertised. If it's that big a deal go buy a kiaora whilst it's on.

Can't see the problem myself, other than using the term banned. The cinema is making a commercial editorial decision which makes sense. Politics and Religion are divisive and the the company wants to remain neutral. The point about the films being propaganda and not neutral is true, but when you go to the cinema you can choose what film you want to see, you don't have the same choice about what ads are foisted on you.
