We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Make it illegal to indoctrinate or define children by religion before the age of 16. More details
Submitted by Jamie Wallis – Deadline to sign up by: 04 June 2007 – Signatures: 2,242
In order to encourage free thinking, children should not be subjected to any regular religious teaching or be allowed to be defined as belonging to a particular religious group based on the views of their parents or guardians. At the age of 16, as with other laws, they would then be considered old enough and educated enough to form their own opinion and follow any particular religion (or none at all) through free thought.
