Protect those who discuss and live their faith in public from discrimination.
Numerous people of faith in the UK live in fear of answering questions about their faith because they know this could result in discrimination and disciplinary action. Why in our 'free' country are we increasingly protecting the public freedom from religion instead of protecting the freedom of it?
There are numerous examples of people in the work or public places undergoing disciplinary action because the right to freedom from religion is being protected and the right of freedom of religion is violated. Most religious practice is not private and cannot be done in private. Baptism is not private, confession is not private, answering questions about faith is not private and it should not be a public offence to quote a sacred text when MP's can publicly swear upon when taking office!
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We're not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do to protect people of faith from discrimination.
