schools instructed to provide atheism lessons alongside r.e.



about fucking time, too. the religionist nut-cases have had it too easy, too long.



my biggest reservation is that christianity is supposed to be taught throughout childrens' entire schooling, rather than being taught as just another religion. why? what's so special about christianity? it's just another means of social control wrapped up in a load of pseudo-magical nonsense.



don't agree.



if tales of gods, sons of gods and miracles aren't fairy stories, then i don't know what are. and how is christianity to be separated from say, islam? they both worship the same god; the differences are in the means of worship.



so what's different or special about christianity?



are its adherents better people than, say, muslims? are they more peaceful? are they more charitable? are they more 'godly'? are they kinder to children and animals?



i don't think so.
