When making a general observation of your lifelong perceptions giving specifics is hardly on the agenda.

I have repeatedly corrected the assertion that I want to restrict religion and see it removed. I want to free people from being presented with religion when they don't want it, but to ensure that those who do, can participate freely and fully.

I want all religions to be free to use their places of worship, but not in places shared with others. Like schools or the public square. As we, via the state, have the duty to educate all children in their civil responsibilities that means no religion ought to be involved in any way.

That's neither authoritarian nor extreme. It's simple common sense. As is the need for everyone to be able to prove their vaccination status in a world which increasingly demands it. There is nothing to fear, so those who object must have another agenda. I welcome it as a sensible way of quickly ensuring that the places I go are safe. Easy entry to places to eat, be entertained or board a plane? What's not to like? Let's restore as much normality as possible as soon as possible.

There is much that I agree with here, but I think that I am being misunderstood. I don't want religion removed from view. I want it being available to be viewed, if people want to view it.

I also want its contribution to our culture taught to ALL schoolchildren. As that is primarily the Christian faith this is especially important, and the primary reason I think no faith ought to be involved in the running of any school.

I want all our children to learn how to be proud British citizens.

This was partially the point i was trying to make prior to this site's censorship. It is not just religion but even more the violence between sects within a religion, just look at the Irish as well as the Muslims.

It depends on the point of view.

I expect I would as well. Nothing I am suggesting stops that. Their children can attend Mosque, religious classes and be taught at home. What I want is for them is not to be excluded from learning about British values and culture. I want every child to be taught these things, hopefully in the company of children from other cultures.

This ought to take place now, as it is required by the national curriculum. However, any faith based school, and especially one where religious leaders are actively involved, is likely to lack commitment and face a conflict of interest. So I think they all need to be consigned to history and replaced by a strong message from us, the majority viewpoint. I want children to receive the messages from their parents too, and then be encouraged to think for themselves.

I also want religion to be taught at school, but not a religion to be taught at school. I want all children to learn about the good, and the bad, impacts of religion and about all the major religions, their development and their contexts.

Another loophole appears.

Our culture and history are important but that is an everchanging thing. 200 years ago, no Scot had any attachment to Tartan, bagpipes or clans. To them it was just stupid northern balls that had no bearing on the modern day, it wasnt until some guy wanted to impress a new king and he fell in love with highland culture that Scots had any attatchment to that stuff. Suddenly Scotland has new and improved culture and history. It evolves. Its only ifg you believe that culture and history should stop where it is and not move again that it would be relevant. Who knows what crazy nonsense from now will be considered important British traditions. In 200 years from now it could be someone like you, shouting from your space pods that lefties are trying to take away your traditional Grime music or boxing day premiership football.

The future is crazy and you will only drive yourself crazy trying to stop it from happening.

Also worrying about what society will do once they stop worshipping god is silly, the most successful countries in history became successful by thinking about what's around or in front of them, not looking up...
