In the name of the State? I interpreted what Glen C wrote was advocating doing things that are to the benefit of each child and expecting the community as a whole to support such an education system run by those who supposedly represent all our interests , our politians

Candida a powerfull force to kill people throughout the centuries, religion is an abomination to the human race.

How do you know whether it's an unfalsifiable belief system?

' Pressuring children to accept without question things that adults believe that are not supported by evidence is just another form of child abuse. Are you there, Runner? '

Yes GlenC as is indoctrinating kids with homosexual propaganda, gw religion, promoting porn and failing to instal any morality into a child's life. The secularist are certainly experts at indoctrination. I suppose with Stalin as one of their founding fathers its not surprising.

Runner you are a true Christian, I don't think so, you are more in line with the fantasy devil.

runner,
All my close adult friends are Secularists or Skeptics and/or Humanists. Every one of them is honest and ethical and not one of them acts in any of the ways you suggest.

Those friends are all concerned to see that future generations learn to think clearly about all issues. Students need to know, for example, that religious leaders and their mobs have always suppressed knowledge by such nefarious activities as destroying the Library of Alexandria and murdering millions for the "crime" of not believing whatever religious nonsense was then current. We have religious leaders to thank for the Dark and Middle Ages between about 400CE and 1550.

You keep trying to tie the non religious to the exceedingly poor behaviour of various politicians such as Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot. Politicians worship and seek power. They are politicians first to last, unbelievers maybe, but not secularists.

Secularists believe that people can have their own personal set of religious beliefs but those beliefs should not intrude into nor control society nor restrict the ability of others to make their own decisions on personal matters. Also, those religious beliefs should not be allowed to reduce the intellectual capacity of the young, something usually done by indoctrination.
