Subject: RE: BS: teaching religion in secondary school UK
"I happen to think that religion should be scrapped and replaced by a non religious approch to morality. The problem today is that morals appear to be going out the door."

Agree with your second sentence Villan, but not the first. Religion's not the cause of the decline in moral standards, people are. If everyone adhered to the morality laid down by the major religions, the world would be a wonderful place.

I've found that the events of the past two-and-a-half years in my life, and the knowledge of other peoples' faith and their prayers for me, have had a profound effect on me and on my own beliefs. Who'd have ever thought it?
