> The Equality Act 2010 says you mustn’t be discriminated against because of your religion or belief.
> A philosophical belief is a non-religious belief and includes things like humanism, secularism and atheism.
> Something can be a philosophical belief if you strongly and genuinely believe in it and it concerns an important aspect of human life and behaviour. The courts have said that the belief in man-made climate change and spiritualism are philosophical beliefs. But a political belief is not a philosophical belief.
> It is against the law for an employer to discriminate against you because of your religious or similar philosophical beliefs or political opinions.
> However, a political opinion which includes approval or acceptance of the use of violence for political purposes in Northern Ireland is excluded from protection.
