You could be right there - but that brings up a different argument - Why should tax payers money be spent on educating an exclusive religious group(any of them) in a multicultural and multi-faith society?
Don't believe in state funded faith schools because they can be divisive and ghettoizing (especially if no other pupils of different faiths can attend),
and,
there is no such thing as a christian, muslim jewish hindu etc child; they are children of christian, muslim etc parents - they are too young to have an informed opinion on the matter and make a choice. If a parent insists on educating their child through a religion they should pay for it themselves and not rely on the state to provide it. As I say, especially in a multicultural and multi-faith society such as the UK - I know this is different in other countries but the topic is UK based.
"Deaths in the Bible. God - 2,270,365
not including the victims of Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the
many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc because no specific numbers
were given. Satan - 10."
