I read the ‘Comment’ article by Andrea Minichiello Williams.

The bottom line has to be that no one should expect to be able to put their own beliefs before the law without consequences.

People are, perhaps, arrested, sacked and so on, as Ms Williams suggests; but not because of their religious beliefs, but because they have broken the law.

Being a Christian is not illegal.

Deciding to break the law, on the basis of your beliefs or for any other reason, is illegal.

When our elected government passes equality laws that reflect modern morality, free from the bias of minority religious pressure groups, this is to be applauded.

We mature as a country in doing so.
