This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Separate the 'Church of England' from the state
More details
The 'Church of England' should no longer be directly affiliated with the UK Government. In this modern society, the country is no longer just a Protestant country. There are large numbers of atheists and people from religious factions other than protestantism.
We the undersigned therefore believe that it is necessary for equality that either these representatives be removed from government, or all official religious groups and atheists alike are properly and proportionately represented.
