It's all about God

[andrewducker]

ciphergoth pointed me at the piece here on mandatory school prayer (still a legal requirement in the UK).

[Poll #1396727]

The train of thought presumably goes like this:
1) Children should be trained to do the morally correct thing until they are old enough to make their own decisions.
2) Praying to God is the morally right thing to do.
Therefore) Children should be trained to pray.

I can't see that lasting much longer, when the majority don't believe (2).

According to MORI 43% of people consider themselves to be a member of a religion, but only 18% of them were actively practising members.

Hmmm. "According to MORI, 25% of people incorrectly consider themselves to be a member of a religion".
