'British values' to me are all about tolerance and fair mindedness not segregation according to some outdated religion .

Your version of liberalism seems to be about allowing anything regardless.

We do pay for all schooling, just because we don't agree with religion shouldn't make our children to make up their own mind like we have.I went to Sunday school on a regular basis, and it wasn't till about 45 years ago that I made up my mind.

The thing that should be taught in any school is that all religions are born out of nothing more than superstition and ignorance, and that they have no place in the modern world.All religions are just brainwashing on a global scale, and should be outlawed completely in a supposedly enlightened society because it does nothing but divide nations and subjigate the individual....

There are too many people in positions of power who subscribe to religion of one sort or another .
