removal of religion from the equality act

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

labour blackmailed religion onto the discrimination act to give religion immunity from our laws and criminalize non-religious people who do not accept mythology ,

religion is a choice not a right !
hence why people have the right to convert or not to accept mythology,
children have no legal right to choose a mythology or to choose to be a non-believer,
this is act gives religion immunity to force there view onto other people and is used as a tool by mps & pm to discriminate and criminalize agnostics,atheist and non-believers .

religion is about personal interpretation about the writing of a religious book so there is no right or wrong interpretation

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure what action you want Parliament to take.

We think you may be concerned about the Equality Act. You might like to know that it is against the law to discriminate against someone because of their lack of religion/belief. You can find out more here:

There is no Act that criminalises people for not having religious belief.
