Remove religion and belief from the Equality Act 2010
Remove religion from the Equality Act. Religion consists of fundamental beliefs. Fundamental beliefs should not be protected under law from discrimination because we think this hinders the rights of others. We think many religious texts encourage illegal behaviours, such as inciting violence.
