Collectively we have an obligation to provide children with equal access to education, for that to be as inclusive as possible it needs to be secular. In a world marked by so many divisions it is important we protect our education system as something free from religious prejudice.

Our society is becoming increasingly non-religious. Given many schools are 'oversubscribed' during each admission period, many parents are forced to rely on a local school being able to take their children. Selecting which children can attend the school based on their religion discriminates against an increasing proportion of society. It wouldn't be allowed in a workplace, why allow it in a school?

Simon, Horsham

I believe that the best way to teach children of all faiths and none about the importance of respecting and celebrating a diverse society and culture is to educate them together in a shared school environment that doesn't promote a particular religion over other beliefs. Children have a right to be taught the critical skills to make their own minds up about what they believe, free from any specific religious bias or influence.

Charles, from OXFORD

This campaign is coordinated by the National Secular Society. The NSS works for the separation of religion and state and equal respect for everyone's human rights so that no one is either advantaged or disadvantaged on account of their beliefs.
