The Doctrine of the Trinity Act 1813 (53 Geo. III c. 160. sometimes called the Trinitarian Act 1812) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It amended the Blasphemy Act 1698 in respect of its Trinitarian provisions. The Act granted toleration for Unitarian worship, as previously the Act of Toleration 1689 had only granted toleration to those Protestant dissenters who accepted the Trinity.

dbpprop:abstract
  • The Doctrine of the Trinity Act 1813 (53 Geo. III c. 160. sometimes called the Trinitarian Act 1812) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It amended the Blasphemy Act 1698 in respect of its Trinitarian provisions. The Act granted toleration for Unitarian worship, as previously the Act of Toleration 1689 had only granted toleration to those Protestant dissenters who accepted the Trinity. It has been regarded as legalising the practice of monotheistic Islam in the United Kingdom; as the Blasphemy Act only applied to those educated in or having made profession of the Christian religion, the amending Act would in theory only have applied to converts to Islam and even then would not have allowed them to deny the truth of the Christian religion. The Blasphemy Act was repealed in 1967, implicitly taking the Doctrine of the Trinity Act with it.
