Oh come on runner,

You need a dose of reality. If you believe that religion teaches kindness, integrity etc then you really need to wake up. The most hypocritical, selfish & perverted people I have met have all had one thing in common, they're all religious.
Just stand outside a church on a sunday morning & you'll see all the crook business people, the crook bureaucrats & crooks in general making sure they're seen. During the week they're busy ripping off people, lying about their real motives & grab as much money as they possibly can. Yes runner religion, It's the last thing you need if you want to build a good society.
If there is indeed a God then it'll be the religious who will cop it in the end because they go against everything God supposedly told us we should do. Disgusting hypocrites most.
To ask religion be taught in schools is they height of hypocrisy.

The topic, I think is around the wrong way.
Should we educate people in churches?
Do not pray in schools and do not think in churches.
If people started to think in church, no one would attend.

Religious institutions, like the Catholic Church, have relied on schooling of children as a vehicle to perpetuate their phony religions. With fictitious tales of Adam and Eve, Moses and his Ark, etc etc these predatory parsons have been in the business of brain washing the young since Adam was a boy! What better place to find receptive minds for their phony religions than in our schools. I am no more in favor of allowing these charlatans into our public schools to spread their bogus messages, than I am to allowing used car salesmen into our schools to peddle their wares.
Schools should be into the business of teaching factual honesty, not a load of dishonest mumbo jumbo.

Every person has a value system by which they live, including atheists. However not all claiming to be atheists have the same value system. So which branch of atheists values should be taught? The Maoist, Stalinist, Putin or Individuals? Similar with Christians who individual watches outside Churches. Many who attend church do not live by the values Christ taught, they live by the values many who call themselves atheists also live by - "You are only here once get and enjoy as much as you can." This means selfishly ripping off other people - no where does Christ Jesus teach such attitudes. As far as pedophiles - Christ taught it is better that anyone who offends a child a mill stone be hung around their neck and they be cast into the sea. Not that Christians practice such punishment but it indicates his view of a social outcast.

This argument has become irrelevant.
Once I would not have cared about religion being taught in school but
things have changed,
We definitely should not allow schools that teach an antidemocratic
political ideology that masquerades as a religion to exist.
Watch what has happened in Birmingham which has now finally forced the
UK government to act.
The schools are teaching Islamism in an anti-British atmosphere.

It is an ongoing story that is incomplete.

In the UK some schools are mixed private and government ownership.
The government employs the teachers but the religion involved sets
the teaching program so long as it meets certain requirements.

Frankly we have no place here for Islamic schools.
