Re: Do you believe the idea of churches being forced to marry people is likely/ration
You are of course entitled to your opinion, but the claim that there is no evidence that churches are coming under legal pressure is pretty ignorant.

No, there is no likeliness of litigation against churches for refusing to provide a marriage ceremony since churches have been refusing to perform wedding ceremonies for a very long time without such litigation. A case just in the past two years or less had a church that refused to perform a wedding for a black couple because they were black despite them actually being members of that church. No litigation because it is a church's right to participate in even such blatant discrimination when it comes to their ceremonies. You have no evidence to the contrary.
