By faith school do you mean all religious schools? We have non-denominational or denominational schools here, I think it's slightly different elsewhere though.
Faith schools are those schools that receive funding from the state to operate but are run through or by a church - most commonly RC (throughout the UK) or CofE (England). These schools are able to practise religious discrimination in their hiring and promotion of staff and in their admission of children if the school is oversubscribed. They are able to promote their faith and god through the school.
Out of interest, what privileges are you referring too?
I’ve mentioned many of them on this thread already. They include reserved seats in the legislature, state funding to promote their faith as true to schoolchildren, preferential access to a third of state schools in England, preferential employment status in up to a third of state schools in England, compulsory promotion of their faith through regular collective worship in both England and Scotland, dedicated funding for their clergy in hospitals.
It’s ironic in a thread where Christians profess offense and disrespect for their beliefs when someone equates their deity with something that is fictional cannot are how much greater disrespect is involved in saying they think their child is more entitled to a school place, or that their prayers should form part of the normal school day at all schools, or that they deserve extra votes and voices in Parliament.
Or that they have not had the inclination to listen when people on this thread have patiently and respectfully explained these issues.
I would say it is equally important to have religious schools, teaching from a non-biased point of view on religion. As well as non-religious schools.
This doesn’t make any sense.
All schools teach about religions in an equitable, non-biased way. Faith or religious schools are run by a particular faith, and promote their own religion as the ‘real’ one and their god as true.
