I'm so incredibly tired of giving respect to a lot of delusions and crazy ideas just because they are regarded as religions.

I undertake that in the exercise of my functions of that office I will have regard to any guidance with respect to ethical standards issued by the secretary of state under Section 66 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999.

We must not enable anyone to impose his personal view regarding religion on others by force oppression or pressure.
