Abstract
Secularisation remains a central but contested topic within the social sciences. Much of the debate around this concept has focused on how, to what extent and under what conditions processes of secularisation might, or might not, be active. One aspect that has remained relatively under-explored in these debates has been the impact of secularisation on the public discourse of religious actors. This article explores these issues through an analysis of religious opposition to the legalisation of same-sex marriage in Britain. It shows that religious public discourse on this subject was characterised by the use of overtly secular (as opposed to theological) arguments, denoting a strategic shift in response to changes in the landscape of religion and belief.
