Evangelicals Make Final Cry to Preserve Freedom of Religion and Speech

Evangelicals across the UK this week have warned that if the government’s version of the Racial and Religious Hatred Bill is passed by the House of Commons on Jan 31st, that there will be a clear negative impact for society and religion.

Specifically, the Evangelical Alliance has issued the stark warning that a return to the previous Racial and Religious Hatred Bill proposals “poses a major threat”.

The Head of Public Affairs at the Evangelical Alliance, Dr Don Horrocks said, “Our previous relative relief that the Lords had delivered a workable and less extreme Bill that still met the Labour Government’s manifesto commitment to criminalise incitement to religious hatred has now turned to alarm."
