I think it's really sad to hear you say the things you do about Christianity. My heart sinks when I read that it should be taught as a set of myths. When I was little I loved being told that I had a Heavenly Father who loved me, and angels who were watching over me, and so do my dch.
I also feel that Christianity, (and other religions) if taught properly, can be a sound basis for life. And by properly I mean, not too airy-fairy 'we-want-to-please-everyone so we won't mention creation, the virgin birth, the resurrection etc. Without these Christianity loses its uniqueness as a way of saving life, forgiveness of sins etc.
Children need to be told "This is right, that is wrong". At some point they will need to ask themselves if a particular course of action is right or not. If they've had a sound religious upbringing, they will know. As an example, I know someone who will not forgive another person's 'tresspasses against her' and has become bitter from harbouring a grudge, when Christian teaching will tell her she'll be happier if she just lets it go.
So, I would like to see children taught a belief system. Moslem parents - Islam. Jewish - Judaism. Buddhist or whatever, as appropriate. Otherwise, here in the UK, Christianity. Everywhere, every age, every culture, has a religion. Why's that, do you think? We've just drifted away from ours, replaced it with Science. But science doesn't comfort or instruct like Christianity. Children taught a religion will have the basics to guide them through life, and when they get to teenage years they will decide if they actually believe the 'stories' or not.
Number one teaching should be 'Love thy neighbour as thyself'. That means love his neighbour teoo, and everyone accross the world, as you do yourself. Wouldn't it be amazing if everyone did?
I wonder how many young people who go off the rails - end up directionless, and in prison - were instructed as Christians?
Now I'm off to namechange!!!
