Being non-religious has traditionally not been a barrier to success in British politics, as evidenced by at least seven Prime Ministers, one Deputy Prime Minister, several First Ministers of Wales and Scotland, and multiple leaders of the Opposition being atheists since the 20th century. Non-religious views are common among British MPs and Lords, many of whom are members of the All-Party Parliamentary Humanist Group, as well as members of Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish, and London legislatures.
