I don't know if I am one of those you think are wrigglers, Steve, but I'm certainly not intending to do that. I know a little Latin - maybe my religious education! - so yes, I am well aware of the educe/induce/deduce nexus. I'd love to get into a discussion about whether we have an education system or an induction system, but that's for another time, since we are concerned more here with whether teaching religion is uniquely harmful. Any subject can be taught badly, I agree, but I think we will simply have to disagree: you find it inherently damaging, I do not. I would agree though that it unusually vulnerable to induction rather than education.
