'And there is a significant difference between the US, where there is a constitutional separation of church and state, and the UK, where there is an established church'Another significant difference between the USA and the UK is that in the US, where you do not have organised prayers or religious education in state schools, over 90% of the population claim to be believing and practising religious people, whereas in the UK, where there are organised prayers and religious education in state schools[with an opt-out clause for parents who don't want these for their children], tne vast majority of people are effectively non-religious and attendance at services of most denominations is falling. Compulsory religion in school is the best way known of killing off religious impulses in the young. |
