Soda, I think the crack correlation is a great point. Religion is detrimental to society. Now more than ever.

Just to clear thigs up, I'm not anti religion. Religion can be taught in every school.

fate, I'm not privy to these "IMPORTANT" rights which are being taken away by the "religious". Can you expound with specifics? And who are these religious tyrants?
Sounds like charged rhetoric to me.

Faith Schools you say? I went to both Catholic and Protestant schools growing up as well as public and there is NOTHING, let me repeat NOTHING wrong with discipline or studying faiths. I know more about the B-I-B-L-E scriptures and doctrine than most hard core Christians and that's only educated me.
If you want to raise your kid in a moral-free environment go for it. That doesn't mean that everyone does.
Don't assume things.

What is the need for faith schools, apart from empty words like 'choice'
you are sounding very new labour

(Oct 13 05, 05:16)How is choice an empty word? It is something that we should be very thankful to have living where we do. You want to take that away? Or just remove choice on issues that you feel you have the answer to?

and keep in mind that the very term "religious" is subjective. Some who you say are religious, may not be to me.
It can be argued that atheists are religious and many aggressively promote their value system.

Soda:
What are the positive effect of having faith schools. It might help the disscusion.

Calling atheism a religion is like calling black a color. It doesn't really pan out.

quite true discipler, not that I'm a religious zealot or fervent about much
haah ;)

a correlated side note: The US was built on schools which centered on specifically Bible based education.
Oh how "far" we've come.

it could be argued that evolutionists are religious as well.

sure it's a religion, fate. It makes absolute claims regarding theism (more specifically, the absence thereof). Again, it comes down to how one defines "religion".

(Oct 13 05, 05:19)What I mean is where is the choice between a good and a bad school? Why can't we have all good schools.

besides with Bush in power and the judges he's named it'll never happen. if you want it to happen tell your great grandkids' zygotes to prepare

good point, stphn. Considering that the world view which undergirds darwinism is philosophical naturalism. A decidedly atheistic belief.

discipler, here's some fun facts:
Most Americans think highly of the Bill of Rights. Now I know you're keen on that one bit about religion, but the rest of us like some of these too!
Freedom of Press
Freedom of Speech
Freedom to peacefully assemble.
Freedom from unreasonable search and seizure.
Right to due process.

my point is that parents should always have the freedom to choose that their children not be indoctrinated with naturalistic and moral relativistic ideaologies.

I find it strange no one has put forward a plus point for going to a faith school apart from. "but I want to" "choice"

I say, to he his own...
