Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. It is already illegal to discriminate on grounds of religion or race, so we're not sure what else you'd like to happen.
You can find out more about discrimination because of race or religion and how to take action here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
