Taking God out of the schools in Scotland.......................
“Prevent Christian worship”
“We now have a so-called national church collaborating with atheists to prevent Christian worship and prayers happening in the State education system – a system created by the churches when they handed over their schools on condition that they remained specifically Christian.
“I sometimes wonder if the Monty Python scriptwriters are running the Church of Scotland – essentially they are helping godless secular humanism to be lifted to the status of state religion.”
“Stab in the back for Christianity”
He added: “If the Church of Scotland stab in the back for Christianity is accepted I would suggest that Christians should automatically opt their children out of this compulsory state godless religion.
“It would be far better to have meaningful Christian worship which pupils and teachers could ‘opt in’ to, rather than force everyone to go to the beige, bland, brain-dead, unquestioning banalities that would inevitably result.”
Pastor Ade Omooba, co-founder of Christian Concern, says: “Religious observance in schools is based on Christian teaching. To change this to a ‘time for reflection’ is another attempt by secularists to remove the influence of Christianity in public life.
