A cinema ban on an advert featuring the Lord’s Prayer which attracted criticism, has been seen by a large online audience which may eventually outstrip the audience it would have reached at cinemas.

Through YouTube and Facebook it has been seen over 700,000 times. Although the ban was seen by many as unfair, it has been noted that cinemas are not publically owned buildings and so the ‘ban’ – which includes any religious or political advertising – is not comparable to a state organisation ‘banning prayer’ in a public building.
