Closed Seperation of church and state

Closed on

Modern Society has no place for preferential treatment to any religious organisation or faith.

Freedom to practice religion is fundamental to democracy however state interference is undemocratic.

Arguing the Church has no power through its establishment is false, 26 Bishops sit in the House of Lords.

The United Kingdom is host to many different faiths, including atheists who are not represented by an established church.

The UK government should lead a debate on the merits of church and state seperation.
