Which one? The 45,000 different Christian denominations can't agree, what chance have the rest of us got.

Difficult to take seriously a man who thinks it’s irrational to eat meat, or test medicines on animals. He should stick to what he’s very good at.

Well, the Eastern Orthodox Church claims to adhere closest to the teachings of Jesus as proclaimed by his brother James, so maybe start there and work your way out. The split in the Roman Church after the fall of the Roman Empire is well documented but the division could really be traced back to the differences in interpretation between Paul and James. I think it was Antony who went off into the Egyptian desert to found the Coptic Church but they're too insular to affect the wider world, which ascetics reject along Essene principles.

It’s just dumb to say people shouldn’t be taught religion or atheism until they are twenty. Like it will just go away.

How do you teach faith or a belief though?

It is indoctrination, or at least an appeal to believe, rather than teaching something that is supported by verifiable and repeatable evidence


Nothing else that you took issue with though?

I can see it backfiring. Those who come to religion later in life are usually more radical.

There is a world of difference between being taught about religions as a child, and being brought into a religion as a child.
RG's point is that young childrens' brains are meant to be impressionable: it's how they are taught to keep themselves safe, in the example.

If moulding a child into religion didn't work more easily than starting them later in life, they wouldn't do it.

Lots of people move away from their faith. Some return or choose a different faith.....

I went away from my faith for several years. I still believed but i stopped going to church...

My dear mum passing got me back into my faith. My faith is stronger than ever.

I never ever preach to anyone. Each to their own.

I agree.

We fill our kids minds with all sorts of fantasy. Religion, should be taught to kids in schools to assist them with cultural understanding and respect for differences. Christians believe X, Muslims Believe Y etc. Schools should have no role in religious education. It should be banned in state funded schools but up to parents to send their schools to private schools. after schools of their choice or teach religion outside.

You can make that argument for any state or private school

You can for any selective school. Most state schools aren't allowed to select, either at all or to the same degree.

If you want to preserve selective schools because they give better education then that's not an uncommon opinion, but religion shouldn't be able to parasite off it as an excuse to keep being taught as fact in schools.

Isn't it the other way around ? Don't these religious schools get money pumped in by their "sponsors"?
