UK. Achieving the appropriate level of protection in regards of rights or
responsibilities. Even a conflict is one of the major source of debate about the
place of religion. In order to increase the situation of violence among two
communities. As demonstrated in the commission previous research studies and
something have argued people between people because of religious belief. On
the other hand, it has been examined that religion or belief is given so much
protection, and also using equality act 2010 exception that always recognize
disadvantage in the belief of different people. Therefore, it will be developed
argue between people so that it will require to consider legal framework which
provides similar protection for all groups or community.
UK government has been engaged with the religious belief groups and consider
themselves to operate a legal aspects, when it comes under policy making and
violation based laws. Many group are engaged with fair communities and
establish a strong relation between each other. In some situation, communities
are based on the religious belief which tends to be highly differentiated. But at
certain level, it may arises the issues or problem in relation to human rights since
religion aspects. Government select the option and speak about certain matters,
because it may represent legitimacy, resources which may directly affecting the
balance of power.
In this report, it will explore the concept of equality and human right legal

framework sufficiently protects individuals in context off religion or belief. It
will identify that how will provide better protection or right against violence by
using legislation in UK.
Rationale: The rationale of this study is to improve more understanding towards religious
belief correspond with law violations in UK. Researcher will understand the
tension between religion among society or community because of divisional
aspect of religious belief. Investigator will try to focus on the conscience
deserves special protection and in most of cases, It accommodated without
harming others. That’s why, research will analyse the protection legislation
which plays important role in society or community. The purpose of research is
to identify the legislation principle regarding violations and supported by wide
range of people. on the basis of research study, it will support for identifying the
equality act 2010 which permit discrimination on the grounds of sex, marriage.
It will be subjected to legal kind of uncertainty which means that create variation
between text of act and other sections. This study will promote the importance
of legislation in UK because of the religious belief exist among people.
Sometimes, it will be dangerous for people because they did not recognized or
used in positive manner.
Aims and Objectives: Aim – Do religious beliefs correspond with law violations in the UK.
Objective-
 To understand the concept of religion and belief.
 To identify the restriction on the right to freedom of religious belief.
 To determine the human rights with law in UK.
Literature Review Theme: 1 Human rights with law related violation in UK
According to Gregory and Greenway (2017) each and every religious person
have a right to freedom on the basis of belief or religion. These are consider the
3

fundamental human right to recognized all kind of major duties. On the basis of
article 18, it has been declared the universal declarative of human rights adopted
by UN, article 9(1) of European convention in context to the protection of
human rights. It ensuring right of people whereas they can use themselves at any
place. In some situation, protection of human rights and fundamental freedom
1950, people have a right to perform actions towards violent.
As per Zhang (2021) All kind of freedom will be changing the religious belief, it
either alone or within community. On the basis of UN declaration, it has been
eliminated all forms of discrimination and intolerance based on the religious
belief in 1981. This kind of act is providing the better opportunity to protect or
secure people themselves.
Theme: 2 The concept of religious belief
As per Madziva (2018) there is realistic aspect in context of religion and belief
which means that guaranteeing freedom. It provides definition of these two
termed such as religion and belief. On the basis of human rights, it has been
describe about protect theistic, non-theistic belief and having a right not to
profess any kind of religions.
Religious beliefs serve as social function in human groups, which is always
providing a shared identity of where individual people come together. Some
kind of people have already established own belief on the religion and create a
unique identity. Therefore, it can be define the social institution which involved
beliefs and practices as per scared. In UK, individual’s and group have created a
myth and develop own perception or decide whether it is right or not. So as, it
may be increased chance of discrimination, violence activities.
On the other hand, Spijkerboer (2018) Said that belief is all about the state of
mine when a person consider something true even though but not sure about
thing. That’s why, group of community in UK have created religious belief
4

which means adopt the tradition or culture accordingly. In some situation,
religious belief correspond the violation problem which may be arises among
people.
Theme: 3 restriction on the right to freedom of religious belief.
According to Scruto (2017) it has been determined the under international
human rights law, freedom of belief or religion. These are consider two
important components which provide the right to freedom of thought. This mean
the right can hold a specific ideas, or change one’s religious belief. It cannot be
restricted under any kind of circumstances. On the other hand, As per Madziva
(2018) Second right is to manifest one perception of people towards religious
belief, which according to law of violation it can be developed a situation of
restriction. If it cannot be prescribed by legislation. It is very important aspect to
provide the better protection of society in UK context of public safety, morale
values. The regulation will provide the opportunity for individual people to live
in democratic society means that interference must be fulfilling all essential
social need or requirement.
Methodology: Research methodology is based on the techniques and procedures used to
identify, select, process and analyse large amount of information relevant to
topic or subject. In research methodology, it allows for researcher to critically
done the validity or reliability.
Research method- it is a process or method of collecting information related
the research topic. Usually, research method can be divided into two ways:-
Qualitative research and Quantitative.
In this research study, researcher will select qualitative research method for
collecting or gathering information on the basis of pre-existing theories, which
has been already used in previous studies. The primary reason for selecting
qualitative research which means that focus on theoretical approach or
5

descriptive data. It is not provide the accurate solution but given a brief idea,
assumption on the research topic.
Research Approach- it refers to the accurate plan and procedure for defining
the information or data. It span following steps on the basis of assumptions in
detailed manner. Research approach can be divided into different groups: -
Deductive, inductive and Abductive.
In this research study, investigator will select inductive research approach
because it is based on the observations, theories which are proposed towards end
of research process. As a result, it will be shown a better observation. This type
of inductive research involves different pattern and explain series of hypotheses.
Research design- it is mainly referred to the overall strategy that can select or
choose for establishing an integration in case study. It is a coherent and logical
way to understand the research problem in this study.
Research design can be divided into two types:- exploratory and conclusive
In this study, researcher will select exploratory research design which means
that explore the research questions. It does not intend to provide a final
conclusion. But it will be conducting the research on the basis of evidence which
can be recorded from sources. In context of qualitative research, exploratory
design approach is consider most suitable approach which provide the brief
insight views of overall research.
Data Collection methods- it is kind of process in which gather or collect
information from different sources. Usually, a researcher will concern about the
data collection techniques because it provide the relevant information or data in
proper manner. Basically, data collection method can be divided into different
types: - Primary data collection and secondary data collection.
In this research study, investigator will select primary data collection method
6

through questionnaires, whereas it keep record information in proper manner.
Questionnaires technique will support for researcher to find opinion or view
point of selected research participants within study.
Sampling- it refers to the principle approach in order to select and assign duties
for participants during research analysis. Generally, A researcher will use simple
random technique which means that follow a procedure while generating a
proper result or outcome. The sample size is 10 religious people in UK.
Data Analysis- it is another kind of procedure that help to researcher where they
can easily analysis large amount of data or information. In this research study,
Researcher will use thematic analysis and consider descriptive information or
data which is completely relevant to the study.
Ethical considerations: Ethics are considered the forms, processes which has made up of research
problem and questions. The primary aim of ethical concept in which protect or
secure the entire study by researcher. In case, if researcher will identify high risk
and requires further formal ethical reviews.
In this research study, scholar should consider the important ethical principles
which plays important role at the time of analysis.
 Researcher will concern about the different participants and always
focused on providing the priority at the time research analysis.
 Researcher will maintain adequate level of confidentiality of research
and gathered data should be ensured in proper manner.
 Researcher will try to eliminate the situation of misleading information
in the primary data collection. Afterwards, it will help to avoid situation
of biased.
 Researcher will focus on the different participants who will try to create
a problem or issue during research analysis. That’s why, researcher will
fix some criteria to acquire more information and undertaken an
7

important decision.
 Anonymity of individual as well as organizations because there are large
number of participating in the research and ensured importance of every
one.
Access Issues: Access is one of the dynamic as well as multi-directional process, which is
completely depends on the ability of researcher, whereas how they can easily
access information through multiple vision. The accessibility of research will
influence researcher at the time of process, and generating a proper result or
outcome.
Before starting the research study, it will require for researcher to verify, analyse
data in properly. Afterwards, it become useful for generating accurate result or
outcome. Access issue identified where researcher does not expected to make all
information publicly. As per consideration of tool or platform, it is very difficult
for verifying and reliability of gathered information. Sometimes, it may be arises
an issue related to loss data, it will be generated mis-management.
At the time of citation, it will be identifying the access issues because of greater
visibility, high rate of citation. It is not properly stimulating with author dialogue
and increased impact of research study. In this way, researcher will focus on the
access issue at the time of publishing, it would be increased the possibility of
data mis-management.
