Our head of campaigns spoke at a conference held by @CEMB_forum last month - and stressed that freedom of religion or belief must include the freedoms not to be religious and to criticise religion.

This part is particularly outrageous.
Victims of unwanted botched circumcision can't get justice because complications are **common**.
How many boys and men have we failed by letting this happen??
Op-ed: Our council member Antony Lempert writes that the unregulation of circumcision in the UK is an abdication of responsibility by government and safeguarding professionals - and one which is contributing to the harm of children.

A child's right to bodily autonomy must not be overridden by other people's religious or cultural beliefs.
We work for every child to be protected from non-therapeutic genital cutting until they are old enough to make such important decisions themselves.

This is an extraordinary decision, and again brings into question the way in which faiths are privileged even to the extent that they are allowed to discriminate against local children with no account of cohesion
The Court of Appeal has upheld a judgement ruling faith schools can have admissions policies which disadvantage children based on race.
The exemptions to the Equality Act which enable this are nothing short of scandalous.

Three Church of England bishops are being introduced to the House of Lords this week. They take seats because of their religious office, not a democratic mandate.
We campaign to end this privilege 👇 secularism.org.uk/scrap-bish…
Debate on reform of the Lords has seen peers raise rightful concerns over lobbying by the 26 Anglican bishops who sit as of right in the chamber.
We've welcomed the interventions: Parliament must have no reserved seats for religious clerics.
secularism.org.uk/news/2026/…
Only one other sovereign country reserves seats in its legislature for clerics: the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Any serious proposals to reform the House of Lords must address the unjustified privilege of the bishops' bench.

Millions of animals are suffering unnecessarily by being slaughtered without stunning to meet religious demands. That's why we campaign to end religious exemptions to animal welfare laws. Join our campaign to end #NonStunSlaughter 👇 secularism.org.uk/religious-… #AnimalWelfare
A child's access to a local school shouldn't depend on their parents' beliefs or church attendance.
We work for an inclusive schools system, with fair admissions that don't discriminate on religious grounds 👇

Religiously discriminatory admissions can disadvantage children with SEND, children in care and those from low-income families. We want inclusive schools that put children's needs before religious selection.

“The restrictions being repealed are symptoms of a much wider problem: the continuing entanglement of Church and state.”
Our CEO on the welcome passing of the Church Appointments bill - and why reform must go further👇
secularism.org.uk/opinion/20…
We welcome the Church Appointments bill, but it is only a first step. Sam Carling MP's contribution shows why reform must go further. We'll keep campaigning to separate religion and state for a fairer society.
secularism.org.uk/news/2026/…
We welcome the Church Appointments Bill passing the Commons as a first step in wider reform. But why in 2026 is the prime minister still involved in appointing bishops? The long-term answer is a clear separation of Church and state.
secularism.org.uk/news/2026/…
BREAKING: A bill to end unfair restrictions on Jewish and Catholic prime ministers has passed in the Commons.
We called on the PM to repeal the restrictions in August. The bill should be the first step in wider reform to separate Church and state.

Many religious #charities do fantastic work. But many others fail to provide a public benefit and some cause harm. Tell your MP it's time to end religious privilege in #charity law. 👇 secularism.org.uk/mp-letter-…
