A very reasonable request. We could say, however, that religious education almost everywhere suppresses those rights (until too late in one's school career). Each country teaches its dominant/official religion as fact, with no balancing view that it may be made up. This maintains the myth and the status quo. More enlightened countries allow individuals to make their own minds up later in life (but too late), and many do not. I simply suggest that we teach atheism, and, again, allow individuals to make their own minds up later. I point out, once more, the Jesuit approach - the first years in a child's education are highly influential (I might even say indoctrinating).

Note that I have not suggested anywhere that religion should be banned - the way forward is through education. Religion will then wither naturally.



Not at all - a view I share. I am not a "banning" type of person, which may be why I have a problem with Tony Blair's style of government.
