Indeed, the justification seems to be that for the minor faiths, people not of that faith do not want to send their kids to that school, and for the major faiths they have to turn away people of the same faith to accommodate people of other faiths.
Of course one solution would be to ban selection on faith grounds altogether, but then the govt would have to find the funds to replace the shortfall when the churches withdraw their financial support.
For those not in the know, the issue is the govt proposing lifting a restriction that oversubscribed faith schools must take 50% of students of other/no faith.
