We talk a lot about human rights, and I would say that the fundamental human right that we all have is freedom of thought, conscience, or religion. That is number one. As a human being, that is the one everything else stems from, in a sense.
Of course, if people of one religious persuasion decide that other members of their population are not allowed to have that same freedom, that's when you get religious conflict and that's when you get religious persecution. If we're standing for human rights, then we have to stand for that fundamental human right of freedom of religion.
In the U.K. we're very clear: we say “freedom of religion or belief”, and that includes the right not to have a religion and the freedom to hold a belief.
When we have our all-party parliamentary group on freedom of religion or belief, a representative of the British Humanist Association is involved there. He is very much part of that group, but he's alongside the Baha'i, the Ahmadiyya, the Sikhs, and the Hindus as well.
You can't ignore people's right to chose their religion when you are defending other human rights.
