Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
As a generalisation I am afraid that this is such complete and utter rubbish that it hardly bears commenting upon. So I won’t further.
I would not be offended if you were to enlighten me. ?

Maybe but lots won’t.Who do you think religious leaders consider their flock. Well I’ll tell you. Everyone. Whether you are of one denomination, tradition or another or none matters not a jot to most religious leaders - most (I cannot say all) will not turn you away if you seek their help and support and neither will they exclude you from their words of advice. Whether you listen or not is up to the individual, but don’t tell them to simply to ‘talk to their own’ and not ‘talk to the press‘ - what utter tosh, and tosh that chooses to completely misunderstand the role and calling of any religious ‘leader’.
Plus as it happens in some traditions every member of that tradition is consider a spiritual ‘leader’, not just the vicars, priests, ministers, bishops, cardinals or whatever.
I am not going to debate further the role of religion in what will always be a very deep and difficult decision, and one that has for most a spiritual dimension, with spiritual being in the widest sense and not simply religious. Please do not tell ‘religion‘ to shut up - indeed some might find something interesting and valuable to their life if they listened.
We are at will to ignore their opinion. Some political parties have views on such matters, take the death penalty for example, the majority may be in favour of it but the Politic advise us that it's wrong. We live in a free society where we can accept or reject the views of others, if religious organisations have leaders then it's not surprising that they will give interpretations on matters of life and death.
If you only want those organisations that have the support of a majority of the country to be permitted to have a say on important matters, then we are not going to have much public information giving and discourse of the sort we are not allowed to discuss here. But hey…that’s different isn’t it…
And on that I’m out.
That's not the case with all religions though, some have huge influence on people's lives.

Yes, but give them from the pulpit, not Parliament.
Why are there 26 seats for the Lords Spiritual in the house of Lords?
Totally agree with you, unfortunately the same could be said if our political parties who will have the final say on this.Exactly! The why is answered as being from a time when the occupants were part of the ruling order of the Country.
I think in most people's view now , they should not be there. They are a body whose views/raison d'etre the vast majority of the populace disagree with.

Yes but I would have thought Mark Zuckerberg and Geoff Bezos would be the first to be asked. ( based on numbers of followers in the UK)I would guess that as many, and probably more, people are members of the AA, RAC or other breakdown organisations as are members of a church. Maybe the heads of the breakdown organisations should give their view on assisted dying as they represent as many people as church leaders?
I totally agree, the HOL can't go quick enough for me and by that I mean all of them but we can't pick and choose when they are of some use, many were praising their views on some subjects not so long ago.Exactly!

So I don't need any extra reward in Heaven (or wherever souls go).
I have lived.
I'll take what is on offer to alleviate the pain of death when it approaches.
Religious leaders should have zero input into this legislation.
