Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I'm quite shocked to learn that the UK still has compulsory prayer in primary schools! Yes, that is discriminatory.

And as I, and many others happily attest, the way x-tianism is used in schools is one of the main drivers of atheism in the UK.

Observance is presented as ritual devoid of content, the educational aspect of classroom "religious education" ended up unavoidably as an examination of the multitude of contradictions and obvious fabrications within the smorgasbord of myths and ideologies present in the bible. Or at least it was when I was in school.

Religious belief based on the Bible is laughable. I thank the British education system for that and wouldn't remove that bit at all
