It is a stupid idea ,it has been tried in the past and it never ends well ,history proves that

Ok, I think we're getting a bit closer to reality now. The thing is what you may consider to be 'less' preaching could be regarded as the correct amount or 'not enough' to someone else. By saying parents should be 'banned' from discussing religion with their kids or reducing it, you're coming across as if you're trying to preach your views on to us....indeed telling us we're "wrong" and informing us how we should live our lives.

But back to your suggestion, what sort of things would be permitted to be discussed?

Re: 'Muslim Plot' To Take Over Schools Investigated
 

in other words keep things as they are now pretty much

Re: 'Muslim Plot' To Take Over Schools Investigated
 

I didn't say banned from discussing. I admit 'banned' was the wrong word as it's too strong obviously.

I agree with you when you say I'm telling you which is wrong I do admit that now as you've said it, but that's how these religious thread go (and easily so) unfortunately.

I just think children should be old enough to make up their own minds, that's all.

Re: 'Muslim Plot' To Take Over Schools Investigated
 

100% agree with that, the issue however is the people who think Religious Education is another way to force kids in to religion are usually the same ones who think parents bringing their children up in a Christian environment will be forcing/brainwashing it in to them.

Nothing to suggest either are correct.

Re: 'Muslim Plot' To Take Over Schools Investigated
 

That is nearly always the case

Re: 'Muslim Plot' To Take Over Schools Investigated
 

American parents and children are really bad for it.

Re: 'Muslim Plot' To Take Over Schools Investigated
 

Care to prove that, religion is only for people that followers anyways, it causes more problems

Asking martyh to prove his point whilst making an unsubstantiated claim of your own....

Re: 'Muslim Plot' To Take Over Schools Investigated
 

The number of teenagers and people in general not going to church would suggest that they are not being forced and they are exercising their right not to be religious

Re: 'Muslim Plot' To Take Over Schools Investigated
 

Why? Do we have lessons specifically to educate children about cults? Oh wait...

Re: 'Muslim Plot' To Take Over Schools Investigated
 

To combat some of the appalling and ignorant misconceptions about religions.

Re: 'Muslim Plot' To Take Over Schools Investigated
 

Why do you think this needs a whole dedicated class? People have misconceptions about many things, we don't have a dedicated class for each of them. Should we start having lessons dedicated to misconceptions of cults?

Religions are just cults that have more people following them when you break it down to it's basics. If half the world were Scientology followers then that would be considered ok and we would be debating if the followers could wear Darth Vader masks (whatever their thing is) in public facing jobs. That may sound strange but that is exactly what we do with older, more established religions.

This whole thread really underlines why I think religion should be left at the school gates and RE as a subject should be taught as a multi-faith subject only.
