Petition Abolish the Lords Spiritual - let secular values prevail!

The Lords Spiritual consists of 26 Bishops who sit in the House of Lords - including the infamous Justin Welby himself. All have a right to vote and they sit on the Government bench. They have too much religious influence over the United Kingdom. We should be secular!
