But do you not think that people should be free to come to your religion of their own free will rather than be forced to study it regardless of their beliefs? Optional would be OK. When I was at school we had to pray every morning and had to have written explanations if we wanted to be excluded. Why force kids to pray? Crazy, and it certainly didn't make me a Christian, even though I can mumble the words to the Lords Prayer or the 23rd psalm - so what, it means nothing to me other than being a fairly bland bit of poetry!
