Rejected petition Repeal blasphemy laws

More details

We need to expose all religions to critical thinking and part of that is implicitly the right to question religious orthodoxy custom and practice. We should be able to criticise religious practices such as circumcision, female genital mutilation, stonings, death for apostasy, etc without fear of imprisonment for speaking out against all barbaric acts that have no place in a modern secular society.

Sign this Petition now to ensure that England remains a modernising influencer on the world stage.
