Making the UK a Secular State: The campaign by Humanists UK

One of the Humanists UK key aims is that the UK should be a secular state guaranteeing human rights, with no privilege or discrimination on grounds of religion or belief. This is not only because it is the fairest approach, but also because it reflects the diversity of Britain today. Survey after survey shows that the UK is a diverse country that is becoming more so all the time, with most measures suggesting a majority of the population is now non-religious. And yet many of the barriers to secularism involve legal privilege for Christian groups in particular, using historical justifications for continued advantage over others.
