The Finnish government intends to cut back on the hours put on teaching religion. Interior minister Päivi Räsänen, who is part of the Christian Democracy party, is not too pleased, but education minister Jukka Gustavsson (of the Social Democrat party) would like to fill the hours with PE and social education. As it looks now, the government will try and make the changes to the syllabus in 2016.
Once again, Finnish education FTW!

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
