Humanist weddings grow in popularity in Scotland | Ekklesia

Perhaps Comte's religion of humanity has at last come of age.

Humanist weddings grow in popularity in Scotland | Ekklesia:
The recent growth in humanist marriages in Scotland means they have overtaken Episcopal ceremonies for the first time, say organisers of the ceremonies. Since they were first made legal their number rose from 82 in 2005 to 710 in 2007.

The Humanist Society of Scotland (HSS) now says it expects to marry over 1,000 couples this year and predicts it will help 1,500 more to tie the knot in 2009, reports Scotland on Sunday newspaper.
