It is a medical necessity for the child.
It is a spiritual necessity for the childs parents.
So I fear that, in this case, one can argue it is when the body of the child is concerned.
But from a religious perspective, it is a spiritual necessity, and it is a moral arrogance and presumption to assume that the NHS should start from a default position of atheism.
Is Britain a secular state? I do believe it is.
Therefore government organizations must start from the default position of atheism.
(More importantly yes medical concerns are intrinsically superior to spiritual ones)
No we have a state religion. Yeah I know, it's really draconian.
The state religion doesn't require genital mutilation though
