69. New Report: How UK Asylum Process Fails Non-Religious Refugees with Dr Lucy Potter

概要
"Home Office officials do not understand what apostasy is — and this affects how non-religious asylum seekers are recognised, questioned, and believed."
Dr Lucy Potter returns to Humanism Now to share the findings of her landmark new report on non-religious asylum claims in the UK, produced in collaboration with Humanists UK. Drawing on three years of in-depth qualitative research, the report is the first study to analyse Home Office decision-making policies for those seeking asylum on the basis of leaving religion or non-religious identity.
Things we discuss
✔︎ Why the Home Office misunderstands apostasy
✔︎ Cultural bias in credibility assessments
✔︎ How interpretation errors can undermine asylum claims
✔︎ Policy recommendations for fairer decision-making

Available from Humanists UK (https://humanists.uk) from 24 March 2026.
