Rejected petition Petition for UK recognition and legal protection of the Benjamnist religion

We therefore call upon the Government to:
* Affirm that this religion may be formed and practised in the UK
* Ensure equal legal protection for followers of newly established religions
* Uphold freedom of religion without discrimination based on the age or size of a belief syste

More details

This Benjamnist religion is founded on principles of the Benjaminic Creed, the glory of the saviour King Ben, the balance of aura, and respect for others. Its followers seek the same legal protections and freedoms already afforded to existing religions, including the ability to gather, practise beliefs, and bet treated equally under the law.
