I have to disagree, not surprisingly - but not in the way you think
I feel the reason the majority of a lot of "anti-halal" people feel that way is due to it being connected with Islam. There are some who are so anti-anything-not-white-and-British that they'll suddenly champion the cause of 'humane animal treatment' just because "this is England (Britain) and we are a Christian country!!".
So in those circumstances you could say someone's (supposed, purely to be anti-halal as in other religious debate they lose all and any support for Christianity by saying things like 'religion should be banned') religion is playing a part in shaping government policy if more consideration is given to halal etc requirements.
