This is just wrong. Faith schools in the uk number 30%. I find that high a number to be surprising. I know the Christian population to number approximately 7% and shrinking. I know the government match the church funding, but still... how does that work for the church?
In my town there's one catholic primary school, and about 20 non faith. All of the high schools in the county (12) are non faith.
It seems the government is laying off another cost onto charities. I wholeheartedly agree with the secular societies view here. I'd be for faith schools if any bias had to be kept out of the classroom.
