Canadian Prayer Breakfast, embryos as persons, blaspheming with calligraphy and lion nomenclature

Canada is technically a secular state (no state church or religion), yet the National Prayer Breakfast, “an annual Christian event” continues to be “historically offered under the auspices of the Speaker of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Commons on behalf of the Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast Group”

Alabama ruling on personhood of frozen embryos cites “wrath of God”

Woman wearing a dress featuring Arabic calligraphy is accused of blasphemic use of the Koran. 

An Indian court has asked a zoo in West Bengal state to change the names of two lions after a hardline Hindu group complained it hurt their religious sentiments.
