Another day, another chart.. Here's one from the British Social Attitudes Survey. It clearly shows that the overwhelming majority of young people in our country today are not religious. Yet, our Government insists on (practically) compulsory "prayers" in every school, every day, my question is, how is this representative?
The solution seems blindingly obvious to me, i.e. a properly secular state that gives a level playing field to all religions and none, particularly in schools. We are not a religious country anymore and should not be a Christian "state" either; the church of England should be disestablished. The days of having our own "made-up" religion founded on the moral principals of Henry VIII are long gone, it's yet one more thing that makes look more eccentric and less relevant on the world stage.
