Interesting question - since churches disagree -compare, for example, the RC and Quaker attitudes - which church has the moral authority to lay down the law for everyone. Even people within one church don't agree with each other. I'm with banjoman on this -let the state define marriage and religions can define marriage for their own adherents. Though marriage is, at the moment, defined as between one man and one woman in the UK, there seems to be no legal problem with accepting Muslim polygamous marriages.
