The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), an atheist group, called the move "brilliant" and Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor said she and her group are "cheered" to see the potential break.

It's time the British tell the Church of England to ‘sod off.'"

The FFRF called religious inclusion at King Charles III's recent coronation troubling, mentioning the king's "kneeling before a Bible and kissing it" and pondering whether the sight helped spark the forthcoming legislation.

Charles also pledged an oath to uphold the Bible, though such proclamations are an historic part of the coronation process, as CBN Digital has documented.

Plus, there are state-funded Church of England schools.

Gaylor's statement comes as a new bill from Paul Scriven, a Liberal Democrat in the House of Lords, reportedly seeks to disestablish the Church of England.

The National Secular Society, a UK secular organization that has worked since 1866 to see disestablishment become a reality, said the bill will be introduced to Parliament on Dec. 6.
