Is it time for the ‘Lords Spiritual’ (The Bishops) to go from the House Or Lords? Our opposition to clergy, an arbitrarily appointed body that has been included to scrutinise and comment upon the legislation of UK politics, is simply not right. More than 55% of the UK population is non religious. UK legislation therefore, should not be influenced by people who base their decisions on the will of, or the supposed word of an unproven god.

We are now in the 21st Century. We should be looking to a secular society, and these arcane appointments must go.

Basing moral judgement on Christian values and morals in a modern inclusive democratic society that influences laws to make the lives of the people better through secular non religious judgement has to be the future.

The Bishop's assessment of this and other bills that go through the House of Lords is based on archaic biblical text and the questionable moral values held within their holy books, and therefore has no place in a forward thinking society.
