most religious involvement in law nowadays (e.g by Bishops in the House of Lords) is very symbolic and limited; but I don't want to see any expansion of it, and I think that the time is long overdue for disestablishment.

Orthodox Jewish and Muslim groups, and churches, make some advisory decisions for their own 'flocks' now; and it may be that this is all that the bishop was referring to - but it should continue to be made clear that the law of the land is unrelated to, and overrides, any specific religious group's decisions.
