Respect for BeliefsR (Eunice Johns and Owen Johns) vDerby City Council and Equality and Human RightsCommission [2011] EWHC 375 (Admin)No one is asserting that Christians (or, for that matter, Jews orMuslims) are not 'fit and proper' persons to foster or adopt. Noone is contending for a blanket ban. No one is seeking to delegitimiseChristianity or any other faith or belief. No one isseeking to force Christians or adherents of other faiths into thecloset. No one is asserting that the claimants are bigots. No one isseeking to give Christians, Jews or Muslims or, indeed, peoples ofany faith, a second class status. On the contrary, it is fundamentalto our law, to our polity and to our way of life, that everyone isequal: equal before the law and equal as a human being endowedwith reason and entitled to dignity and respect.
