I used to think that religion should be kept out of our schools. I still do. I think that the old religious morning assembly has become pointless in a multi-faith society where some of the school are not Christian and are thus exempt from attendance.
I do however think teaching the basic tenets of differing religions can only add to pupil's knowledge and understanding why others are the way they are.
