Liberty campaigns on religious freedom and represented an airport check-in clerk who got her employer's policy which stopped her wearing a crucifix at work overturned.
Ms Chakrabarti said: "If we really believe in freedom of thought, conscience and religion this must include the right to the faith or belief of your choice, the right to no faith and crucially to be a heretic to any religion."
