This petition was submitted during the 2015 to 2017 Parliament
Rejected petition Lessen the role of religion in Parliament and in making new laws
Rejected on
Religion is an outdated concept and still uses old, draconian rules in these modern times, so we should weaken the power of the ancient cults in parliament as it is a backwards step in society
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions must call for clear, specific action from the Government or Parliament. For example, you could start a petition calling for the Lords Spiritual (the bishops in the House of Lords) to be removed from Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
