Prove it. Get a British law and prove it. Quote historical archives and facts about British law and prove your point.

I'm not going to quote a british law 'cos I know stuff all about the law over there. I will reference legal discussions that have been going on the last few years.
#1: Abortion. Virtually all discussion on abortion centers around religion. Religious groups claim that the fetus is a living being so abortion counts as murder. Admittedly I don't know of a western nation that has completely outlawed abortion but don't you think Bush would ban it if he could?
#2 Stem Cell Research using embryos. This was a huge issue for governments all over the world and has been banned in the US. The only objections are from religious groups. The embryos in question are small clumps of cells created by IVF (or in other words, they're potential test-tube babies). They have been frozen barely a few hours after conception and are no longer wanted by the parents as they have successfully given birth (they fertilise more embryos than are needed in case the first lot fail). Currently these are thrown away (and thus die anyway) but they could be useful in life-saving stem cell research. And yet religious groups have successfully lobbied the US government to ban research using embryos.
Does that count as religion influencing law making to you?
