"Progressive members of the U.K. Parliament have introduced a formal call to abolish daily prayers in the House of Commons, a centuries-old tradition, saying prayers are “not compatible with a society which respects the principle of freedom of and from religion.”
"The motion reads: “That this House recognizes religious worship should not play any part in the formal business of the House of Commons; believes that Parliamentary meetings should be conducted in a manner equally welcoming to all attendees, irrespective of their personal beliefs; further believes that Parliamentary Prayers are not compatible with a society which respects the principle of freedom of and from religion; and urges that prayers should not form part of the official business of Parliament; and calls on the Modernisation Committee to consider alternative arrangements.” FULL STORY at above link.
