Repeal all religious exemptions

Repeal all religious exemptions — 3,240 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

Repeal all religious exemptions in law. Ensure laws relating to public safety, animal welfare, and other legal obligations apply equally to all individuals and organisations, regardless of religion or belief.

Additional details

I feel current religious exemptions allow practices that would otherwise be restricted, such as exemptions relating to religious slaughter and the carrying of certain ceremonial blades. I believe there should be one set of laws that applies equally to everyone, regardless of religion or belief, and that any existing religious exemptions should be repealed.
