Bann Religion In Schools ?
Should religion be banned in state supported schools ?
Religion is frequently the most divisive factor in society , should it therefore be left to parents to make independent arrangements outside schools.
In that way children could learn to live together in a neutral school environment.
For years we have been brain washing our children to follow one faith out of hundreds. Not one of which can be Proved to be anything more than the myths of yesteryear.
Faith schools, as in Birmingham are examples of this virus being paid for by us all .
We don't officially teach party politics in state schools , so why emphasise
certain faiths. The present government's policy of encouraging faith schools will turn us into another Northern Ireland.

I think it should be banned. We went to Sunday School as children then to Church for morning service and when we got older to the evening service as well only if we wanted to. (Mum and Dad had the day to themselves more or less). We were presented with Bibles and taught the Scriptures in sunday classes and lessons to take home. So if the parents want children to learn about their God they should attend church. I pity the Muslim kids they get beaten up if they don't learn quickly enough.
tonyav Your answer interests me ! Are you saying you are an Atheist or an Agnostic ? Unless you are ,IMO , I would say you have been influenced or brain washed ( call it what you will ) . I certainly was ! It's a part of our 'growing up ', and unless we are exposed to alternative beliefs with equal emphasise we naturally accept what we are told.
It wasn't until I was in my 30s that I realised what , IMO, nonsense religion really is , and it's only in recent years that I believe it is dangerous nonsense. Millions have died and suffered in the name of religion.

When I went to school we had morning prayer and a hymn. We also had Religious instruction. In those days we were predominently Christian/jewish children. There were some Catholics but we all attended the lessons as far as I know, there may have been some exceptions. There were no foreign children at all Asian Chinese or African, Todays multicultural mix is much different and in view of that any lesson in religion would have to be an all encompassing tutorial covering all religions throughout the school terms.
