complaint about religious instruction to human rights commissioner

Do you need faith to be a moral person?

This is my response to a Christian asking me to take this website down because he believes that children need to hear about his religion and that morality cannot exist without God.

Surprised by religious influence in state primary schools

August 3, 2016 Dave 0

Tina sent me her story about how surprised she was to find out that there was religious instruction in the school that her children will attend when they are old enough. I felt exactly the same when my daughter started at school and it highlights how little awareness there is about religious pressure in state schools.

Lunchtime preaching despite parent’s wishes
