The act limits the freedom of 'religion' (the institution) in the freedom of thought, conscience and religion (religious belief)
Its important, when muslim, sikh, and hindu adults in Britain are being disowned and mistreated by their parents and family because they convert to another religion or choose atheism.
And what's wrong with irrational belief, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else? We'd end up attacking any beliefs based on metaphysical postulates.
Isn't it irrational that there are many people who believe in scientific facts because 'they were told it at school' or that 'scientists believe it, therefore I believe it'?

And anybody telling you they intellectually 'chose' their religion or atheism is a liar. People believe what they happen to believe.
Low intelligence might make someone more likely to just believe what their parents believe but anyone who thinks that religious=stupid and atheist=clever is an idiot, which would be obvious enough if they ever tried to debate some like Rowan Williams or Mohammed Ansar for example.
