I believe that religions should be taught at school (note the plural) So that the student has some knowledge of the beliefs of others.
I dont think that god should be force fed to children and that they be pushed into accepting a faith before they are old enough to decide for themselves.
That is not 9 or 10 years old.
Is there a god or supreme being? damned if I know, it cannot be proved but is a matter of personal faith. We all have our own moral standards. The hypocrasy of some churches bewilders me. Look at the celibacy of priests and the sexual predation by some clergy. And as Axe said, he is pronounced evil because he has a same sex preference in his private life. I think that Axe is as much entitled to be loved and respected as anyone else regardless of sexual leanings. it goes against a commandment, love thy neighbour anyway.
