Rejected petition Allow the Lord's prayer advert to be used in cinemas across the UK

Odeon,Cineworld and Vue have banned the advert from being shown on the same bill as Star Wars: The Force Awakens, due to open just before Christmas arguing that it could offend those of "differing faiths and no faith". Where is freedom of speech and any recognition of Christianity in the UK anymore?
