Mmm, agree with Ian Mather: there is the Law of the Land to which ALL are subject and then there are rules of optional clubs/groups/organisations to which those who choose to belong may subscribe.

Arguably, it's not only religious clubs who have had and still have there own self-serving rules and agendas which may contravene the Law, and whose members may conspire together in order to do so. Perhaps organisations such as the Masons for example. All cult like organisations where there are closed doors, need to bee challenged to have a rethink. Indeed any organisation with closed doors whose members may close ranks against non-members.
