The Churches’ influence on the referendum’s outcome was far beyond statistical errors, and had Churches publicly supported independence, it would have been likely that Edinburgh would now be negotiating the terms of “divorce” with London. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Religion in Europe is the property of Brill Academic Publishers and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
