This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

The Government is not responsible for recognising religions. The Equality Act 2010 makes religion or belief a protected characteristic: https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/equality-act/protected-characteristics#rob

Determining whether a religion or belief is protected under this legislation is a matter for the courts.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
