Dick Smith Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 And they counted as no-info. Thus making sure that in some areas where Christianity is not the major faith it appears to be so, and by that token others, such as humanists, do not get a say in the RE taught in the schools in the area.

Cassis Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I suppose it's because humanism isn't so much a 'faith' as a set of rational values for co-existence. Maybe the Dept of Censuses and Surveys (or whatever it is called these days) should expand the category to include belief and value systems other than religious faiths.Not sure where the Jedi would stand on this, though.

Dick Smith Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 It would be nice if they would. There have been hordes of patronising Christian wafflers on Thought For The Day recently - the only highight being Lionel Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassis Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Well, when it comes to religious radio punditry the rabbi Lionel Blue is ne plus ultra. Not sure how he would fare in a no-holds barred fight with Obi-Wan Kenobi, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
