So ive considered myself atheist for around 7-8 years now. I have a son who is starting school in a few month. We choose his new school based on results and how they would be able to assist with his minor hearing loss. However, it is a church of England school (UK). My question is how I deal with him being taught so much religious ideology when it is not taught in a way i thought it would be. (I assumed even a religious school would teach children that there beliefs were only that, beliefs, not fact. I had hoped they would use some sentence such as "this is what some people believe" but they don't)
I want my son to learn about religion so he can see for himself how brutal, homophobic, racist and abusive it is for himself but i now think the school will only teach him the good (Of which im sure there is within the bible) aspects and he may begin to believe in a false god.
My nephew has said that he would not believe there was no god even if his mum and dad said so...his reason? His teachers told him there is a god. How can school abuse their positions of power so much?
thanks guys
