People should be allowed to believe what ever they want, but it should not affect others who do not share the same belief as them.

The law should not give any consideration what so ever to any religion, your religion should stay your religion, do not push it onto others, do not try and dictate how others should live their lives....its your religion so keep it to yourself.

I agree.

In other words, discrimination for religious reasons is unacceptable.

The law shouldn't give any consideration to opinion at all, not just religion driven opinions.

Don't target religion but allow all other sorts of irrational crap to be included in law making.

If the law didn't give consideration to opinion, then it couldn't change with morality. We'd still be burning witches or chemically castrating homosexuals.

It's not far off that to be honest. There's no tolerance in Britain.
 
I believe religion shouldn't be banned but I do think people should keep their fantasy bull **** to themselves and out of the work place, schools and politics.
 
Likewise don't really think religion should be banned but it should be a personal thing, I keep an open mind as to whether their is a god or not but I've yet to see a faith or branch of religion that hasn't been entirely corrupted by the will of man.

IMO it has no place in state, law, politics or workplace, etc. and I've seen far too many individuals and/or families destroyed or affected by religious ideals that far too often don't even make any logical sense within the branch of religion they are ascribed to I'm dead against any kind of organised religion especially when children are forced into it with no real say in the matter and/or before they really understand it for themselves but I don't know how that could be done while retaining religion as a personal thing. I don't really care what people believe, if someone has their own faith I can respect that, but theres little I detest more than seeing it forced onto people's lives.
 
I want a totally secular state, which makes the absolutel minimum of concessions to any form of comfort-blanket worshipping, but I'd miss religion in general society. It's the intellectual equivalent of a handbag held in the crook of a girl's arm.

When you see that you know she's shallow, waving her knock-off £200 junk collector around for other junk collector fans to admire. And when you hear someone mention god, you immediately know you can switch off and have a snooze while they're talking... unless they're stood behind you with a knife while you're on your knees in front of a video camera.

Then you'd probably be better off praying. A little insurance at that point does no harm.
 
Banning religion would only strengten it.

Embrace it, let it spread its message but, at the same time, support education and watch it crumble under the pressure of its inconsistencies, false promises, contradictions and exaggerated claims.
 
We were doing fine. The number of religious folk in the uk was in decline. Church attendances were down, older more hard core members have been dieing off etc. It seemed somewhat slow but steady movement towards a more secular state.

The militant islam gained a foothold. And look at us now, back peddling and pandering left right and centre.

Islam is the fastest growing religion in the UK and adherents have the lowest average age out of all the major religious groups.[8] Between 2001 and 2009 the Muslim population increased almost 10 times faster than the non-Muslim population

False. Irreligion has risen by ~10% between 2001 and 2011 so you can back to your muzzie hate corner.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreligion_in_the_United_Kingdom

The rise in irreligion was confirmed in the UK's 2011 census, which saw irreligion rise from 7.7 million in 2001 to 14.1 million, a rise of 10.3 percentage points. The local authority with the highest level of irreligion was Norwich, the county town of Norfolk, where the level was 42.5%.Religion has the least influence on youth.

I'm far more concerned about Cameron's sudden Evangelism to be honest. Islam may be growing quickly, but proportionally it continues to make up very little of the population. 10 times fast growth doesn't mean that much if you go from gaining one member of your religion a month, to ten a month. The only real reason why we see a real influx, anyway, is due to to immigration, not conversion.

Like millions of years of evolution, which is all based largely on assumptions. Education?, children are taught that they evolved from fish or that they evolved from an ape-like creature. All based on assumptions.

It may be a relatively small percentage but due to the military style of the religion it is growing quickly and once in its difficult to get out.

Plus we cwn see how they are affecting the whole system from schools to courts etc.
