I agree that children should learn "courtesy, care, respect", I also agree that that should come from the home. However, religion should be part of a children's learning, because as was pointed out, religion seems to be one of the root causes of problems in todays society, and in my opinion that comes from lack of understanding.

How many of you can say that as a child, assembly with a prayer and hymns weren't part of your daily/weekly routine at school? Even in High School, I remember 15 minutes in the morning, and after lunch - during registration - being used for 'reflection'. And this was in your 'bog standard' high school, not in a church-run school.

colinc, teaching religion isn't about enforcing your views on anyone. It's about giving a person the information to be able to make the choice on their own.
