This general election, I’ll be supporting the candidate who wants the UK to take a leading role in promoting religious freedom around the world, and who supports scrapping blasphemy and apostasy laws. #ImVotingHumanist

This general election, I’ll be voting for the candidate who promises to remove bishops from the house of lords, because I believe in democracy and I want to see an end to religious privilege. #ImVotingHumanist

This general election, I’ll be voting for the candidate who wants to see asylum seekers treated like human beings. That includes faith-leavers fleeing religious persecution, often treated less favourably than others on arrival in the UK. #ImVotingHumanist
