pmsumner at 10:44pm on 21/02/2011day 4 - your views on religion.
Religion is bad news. Yeah some people in some religions do great things, but it's just yet another way of attempting to differentiate a group of people from other groups of people.
Proponents of religion tend to focus on the good work that some people do, all the while ignoring all the good work that is done by agnostic and atheistic people.
Above all this, faith schools are a problem. Faith schools, allowed to set their own selection criteria, their own curricula, choose to discipline staff for reasons that would never be acceptable in "normal" state schools. All the while pushing belief on young brains before they're really ready to accept it.
I'm very tired. I'm not thinking rightly or clearly, but I believe that religion is a problem.
