The use of prayers as a bizarre and antiquated seat reservation system is inimical to a modern, pluralistic, secular democracy - and should be ended.

"A bodily mark of religious belonging may be life-affirming when freely chosen. However, freedom of belief is illusory without accompanying protections from coercion or being forced into a permanent bodily modification."
Great piece from @Seculant👇

What a bizarre, antiquated system.
MPs still reserve seats in the @HouseofCommons with prayer cards – and must attend prayers to keep them.
What possible justification is there for tying parliamentary seating arrangements to religious observance?

"A golden rule of child safeguarding... is to remain focused on the child. Instead, deference to religious communities and to well-intentioned parents prevails, despite accumulating evidence of significant, ongoing harm to children."

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.

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.
