Birth of a religion

In a landmark ruling in Britain, Mr Justice Michael Burton-Loon has pronounced that a belief in man-made climate change, if genuinely held, can be considered to have the status of a religious conviction “for the purpose of the 2003 Religion and Belief Regulations”. Frit wonders if this means it’s now okay to dress its adherents in strange green frocks, persecute unbelievers and chop off their heads in its name. Frit also wonders if a belief that there is no such thing as man-made climate change, if genuinely held, can equally be considered to have the status of a religious conviction “for the purpose of the 2003 Religion and Belief Regulations”. If so, Frit intends installing effigies at the headquarters of his own anti warming dogma organization WOW (War On Warmers) and insisting that the staffers there remain celibate.
