Atheists were not emancipated until 1888. This was the doing of Charles Bradlaugh, an atheist who was repeatedly elected to parliament, rejected, fined and even locked up under Big Ben for speaking and voting there until he was allowed to "affirm" rather than take a religious oath. After that, Hindu, Parsi and Muslim MP were able to take their seats without obstruction. By the way, the requirement for university students to assent to the tenets of the Church of England applied to Oxford and Cambridge, not the University of London or of course the Scottish Universities, which many boys from England attended.

Napoleon's "liberalism" did not go very far: apart from restoring monarchy in his own person, and in other countries for his relatives, he also restored slavery after it had been abolished by the revolutionary deputies.

@mikaelvalter-lithander1247 When Sinn Féin won a majority of Irish seats at Westminster in 1919, none of their new MPs went to Westminster: instead most of them assembled in Dublin to form the first Dáil Éireann. After Ireland was partitioned, they won almost all the seats in the new Parliament of Southern Ireland and a few in that of Northern Ireland: but again they failed to turn up at either new parliament, going instead to Dublin to form the (illegal) second Dáil. Their position seems to be that the winners of parliamentary seats in four counties of Ireland are not entitled to rule any of the island, let alone six counties of it.
