I agree but would not make the same comparison. Kids, like i did, can
see through the falsehoods and opt out of religion but the sexual
perverts you refer to are in a different league.
i always remember at our 'divinity classes' there was one catholic among
we 'C of E '
and the poor guy was made to sit outside in the corridor - religion gets
that silly.
Google has just consented to let me be aware of your reply!!
Maybe kids can see through religious instruction in a regular school,
but faith schools are a whole new ballgame. How many see through the
'education' they get at a madrassa for example? And if they do, and
attempt to "opt out" they're not likely to live very long.
