A new report by think tank Respublica, several of whose past recommendations have influenced government policy, has suggested a “reasonable accommodation” clause for religious beliefs in law.
The report, Beyond Belief, written by James Orr, a philosophy fellow at Christ Church, Oxford, was launched this morning in Parliament. It follows a series of cases in which Christians have lost their jobs or businesses, or been otherwise penalised, for acting on their consciences, especially in disputes over LGBT rights.
