Apathy, gods best friend

[pgrimes15]

On the one hand, Chuff, you state:

I’ll go out on a limb here and state that most people in the UK are agnostic and completely apathetic to the question of gods existence, and this trend is definitely increasing with the younger generations.

and on the other,

chooling(a particular pet subject of mine) – A high proportion of schools in the uk are faith based, and this tradition is increasing rather than diminishing.

Allowing that both statements are correct, it would seem that whatever the schools are doing is not having the effect they want.

Minimalist has got it spot on. It often amuses me that the UK with its established church, Lords Spiritual, compulsory religious observance in schools, head of state as head of c of e, is one of the most secular countries in the world.
