I'm sure the Government would just love if it did actually mean that. After all, no more having to prove a persons actual involvement in a crime! "If they were there then they are guilty".

Yet as all parts of an event are part of the event it means religion has no place in the event if it is a non religious event no matter how many people favour or object to its inclusion.
