Atheists and Marriage
This post is written by user PinkNC in the TrèsSugar Community group Religions of the World.
Here’s the question: If you’re an atheist and you marry a Christian or any other religion, inside of a church, are you a hypocrite because you went through with the ceremony and vowed under a God you do not believe in?

Some Doctors Object to the Pill on Moral Grounds
In the very first episode of Mad Men, Peggy Olson goes to the gynecologist seeking a prescription for the pill. Watching the scene, I cringed as the doctor grills Peggy about why she would want the contraceptive pills if she were not married. He says: "As a doctor we'd like to think that putting a woman in this situation isn't going to turn her into some sort of strumpet."

Beyonce Too Sexy For Malaysia
Beyonce won't be showing off her, um, leotards anytime soon in Malaysia. The singer has canceled her upcoming show in the predominately Muslim country because it has upset conservative Muslims who think her show is immoral.

Supreme Court Considers Legality of Crosses on Public Land
While the Supreme Court decides whether or not religious symbols can be erected on public land, one justice already has his mind made up. During the oral arguments on the legality of a cross at a World War I memorial, Catholic Justice Antonin Scalia more than hinted at how he is voting. Scalia said yesterday:

Many Blessings: Christian Sect Believes Its Kids Will Fix the US
It's not uncommon to say children are a blessing, but Quiverfull (the name of a small movement among Christian Evangelicals) families take the belief very, very seriously.

Dominican Republic Bans Abortion, No Exceptions
As support for legal access to abortion in the US drops (with only 47 percent of Americans thinking it should be legal), the Dominican Republican has decided to go one better: they want to constitutionally ban the procedure altogether.
