Draft, Adopt, Enforce and Protect Anti-Religious legislation for All faiths.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The Law should protect all religious symbols and associated artefacts including their Prophets, Holy books, Places of Worship, Dress, Religious practices at work and in open public spaces, so long as it does not harm any one.
Incidents of Extremism/Radicalisation should be dealt case by case.
We live in a Society where we talk about equality and being impartial towards others irrespective of their race, religion, gender etc

Is it not time that the UK Government and its Allies including France and USA realise that legislation should be drafted, adopted, and enforced for not just for one Religious community but for all Religious Groups equality too..

Inclusion for All.

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. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

The Equality Act and the Human Rights Act already protect individuals against discrimination on the basis of their belief (or lack of religion). See:

You might like to sign the following petition:

Make the burning of religious texts a specific offence

You could start a petition calling for other specific actions to made explicit criminal offences, if that's something you'd like to see happen.
