I dislike the suggestion, implicit in your post, that 'religious' people or organisations are to be treated with suspicion should they wish to be school sponsors.

We have had threads on this in the past and I've pointed this out before - this country's education system is founded on the efforts of the Church.

Everybody has a world view, whether religious in the traditional sense or not, and it is strangely anti-libertarian of you to suggest - as you apparently do - that the only people who should be disbarred from influencing state education are those whose worldview is a traditional religious one.
