I don’t profess to know much about religions other than CofE - I had the usual round of Sunday schools, church choir, and school assemblies. I have never practised it as an adult. The one thing I would say is that it instilled some values and codes to live by that have stayed all my life. Right from wrong, good from bad etc. I think these values were positive. (Albeit that some of the dodgy preachers of it are crawling out of the woodwork.)
The thing that worries me is the instilling of values that aren’t positive, and uncontrolled,religious, educational establishments would be a source for this. The same should apply to religious establishments but during my lifetime there has been an increase in the diversity of religions in this country, each with their own values, and increasingly more at odds with others.
I come to the conclusion that all educational establishments should cut out religion and focus on what is and isn’t acceptable in our society. Religion - it’s all become a bit scary for one reason or another.
