Rejected petition Disestablishment of the Church of England

More details

Separation of Church and State is a long-established tenet of Democracy as has been laid out specifically in codified constitutions of democracies across the world.

Disestablishment is long overdue in the United Kingdom and the time is right for HM Government to introduce legislation to disestablish the Church of England as a body of state.
