I've never been really religious. Okay, so I went to Sunday school and sang hymns in our school assemblies, but everyone did that and I don't think kids can judge what to believe. I know Christians and atheists who are good people, but there is a lot of evil done in the name of religions of all types. People can believe what they like, but shouldn't try to force that belief on others. It's another form of power that gets abused.

I was forced into that ritual as well. Baptized and all that shit. They force their views on kids, like they did to us. Which I think is scandalous and criminal. Luckily, we both were not completely brainwashed and were able to think critically about this. Others don't have that luxury however.
My kids have been brought up without religion and have turned out to be good people. You don't need faith to have morals. Christianity is a part of British culture, but I suspect most people don't really believe in it. Church attendance is pretty low and the Christian holidays are just an excuse for a day off and some consumerism. It's less a part of school life than in my day.
