Wakefield nightclub Religion criticised by bishop

A new Wakefield nightclub has been accused by a bishop of "trivialising" people's faith by naming club nights Mass, Resurrection and Salvation.

The club, Religion, also sells cocktails with names like Angel Wings.

The Bishop of Wakefield, the Right Reverend Stephen Platten, said: "For people who are religious, those words are seen as key issues to their life."

Leisure 99, which owns the nightclub, said: "The name of the club nights aren't linked to any specific faith."
