Excerpts:
> Lesley Williams, whose 13-year-old attends Witton Park Business and
> Enterprise College, said: “It is wrong. I can understand children
> being taught about other faiths but being told God doesn’t exist is
> not right.”
> Councillor Salim Mulla, chairman of the Lancashire Council of
> Mosques, said: “I don’t think it is right. People are born into
> faiths and are brought up in that faith and that’s how it should
> stay. The non-faith beliefs send a wrong message to the children
> and confuse them. Values are very, very important. I don’t think
> the non-God aspect should be introduced into the curriculum.”
In another article in the Christian Post, the cleric Kevin Logan bravely strikes a more equanimous tone:
> But the Rev. Kevin Logan…stated that he wasn’t worried about
> Christianity. “It can stand against any belief and come out in a
> good light,” he said.
>
> “It is quite a change but it is completely right to recognize
> atheism and humanism. They are religions like any others,” Logan
> added. “It is just that people worship man instead of a god.”
Good for them. Hopefully they’ll stand up to the pressure from the theist front. It should be a criminal offense to brainwash children with theist dogma; it’s high time that it’s done away with.
