I don't see it as an issue of free speech being curtailed if the same rule applies to any religious or political advertisement. Honestly it makes sense, the reason you go to a movie is to switch out of real life for a while, not to have to listen to a propaganda piece.

We've been fed Jewish crap by Hollywood for years, why not have some Christian advertising? Red and Blue Army!

Religion should be regulated like smoking and drinking. It should be illegal to expose children to it. Ban Religion until the age of 18 and see what happens to the numbers. They survive by indoctrinating children from a young age through fear tactics.

To expand on my previous post - we are fed blatant propaganda by Hollywood/US producers anyway. Every film has political/religious and moral messages throughout - each seeming to suit mainly a low brow American audience anyhow. Why not just go the whole hog and advertise religion? Just consider how many of the films you watch have a BS US message anyway: freedom, good family values, work hard and you will be ok, US always gets their guy, justice prevails, the list is endless. And, as I stated above, the influence of Judaism on US film and TV can feel a little overpowering sometimes - or is that just me? Red and Blue Army!

I think whoever decided to ban the Lord's Prayer at cinemas is a politically correct t***. Maybe they should ban Christmas movies, just in case someone gets offended... [Link]

If ALL political and religious adverts are banned at the cinema then I don't see what the problem is. I'd like to see all adverts, except for forthcoming films and (maybe) the local restaurants, banned. It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

It's Christmas the clue is in the name. You can stick your coca cola Christmas up your arse. It is unbelievable that leading up to Christmas something as simple as the Lords Prayer is not allowed to be advertised but everyone creams their pants over Waitrose / John Lewis whatever adverts. I am not religious but we are a Christian country, why shouldn't the Lord's Prayer be advertised. If it's that big a deal go buy a kiaora whilst it's on. the dignified don't even enter in the game

Cinemas banning Lords Prayer advert Par for the course in a mainly Christian country i guess? It makes you wonder who the real enemy is. Or not, if you're daft. Time to move forward together.

This is only a problem if religious advertisement is banned selectively. If all religious advertisement is banned then it is fine. We are far more a secular country than a Christian one and that is something I am prepared to stand up for.

Can't see the problem myself, other than using the term banned. The cinema is making a commercial editorial decision which makes sense. Politics and Religion are divisive and the the company wants to remain neutral. The point about the films being propaganda and not neutral is true, but when you go to the cinema you can choose what film you want to see, you don't have the same choice about what ads are foisted on you. The cellophane illusion of a starry sky / Stretched over an open sore. Big Nothing
