I support this campaign. There is too much segregation in life. As we live together so we grow through sharing and understanding not by reinforcing a faith or belief or one set of values. Children from all faith and belief backgrounds should be educated together and allowed to develop their own beliefs independently and within the rich communities in which we all have to live.

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.

I am a political secularist - I believe the State should adopt a level playing field when it comes to religious belief. Even many religious people now recognise that the State funding of religious schools involves giving special privileges to religious communities that are not afforded to the rest of us. This is unjust, anti-democratic, and should stop.

Faith schools contribute to the fragmentation of our education system and the religious segregation of pupils. This is not conducive to social integration, cohesion and equal opportunities for all. That's why I'm supporting the 'No more faith schools' campaign. I want to see an education system that is free from religious control and that brings together pupils from all backgrounds and beliefs.

State-sponsored superstition should have no place in the education of children, who should be left to make up their own minds on the basis of the evidence they see around them. Education should inspire rational thought and display the pleasures of deep understanding; it should not propagate the social poison of divisive dogma.

I support the campaign because I think children of all faiths should be educated together to allow them to develop their own beliefs independently.

Religion continues to cause conflict and division around the world. Religions should be acknowledged and understood by children, but they should not be forced to follow a particular religion in school. Understanding allows choice, but young children will effectively be indoctrinated before they have the maturity to make one. End faith schools now!

I was brought up in Catholic schools in Glasgow in the 60’s and 70’s, and just down the road were the ‘Protestant’ schools, as we were taught. All throughout my schooling there were fights between us and we all thought that was just the way it was everywhere! Well, it was in Scotland. And still is, from what I can see. This bigotry was ingrained in us. It wasn't until I left school that I saw how poisonous faith schools were. The state should have nothing to do with promoting such divisions in our society. Faith schools must go!

I was shocked to learn of the number of Buckinghamshire children who were allocated a faith school against the wishes of their parents. It's now more important than ever that children are educated to distinguish real facts from myths and fake news. Having a major part of the curriculum devoted to getting children to believe in supernatural nonsense is hardly likely to assist this process. I wish you every success in your campaign.

Faith schools are an anachronism in the modern era when the majority of people have no religious affiliation. They are discriminatory and favour families who often pretend to be religious in order to get into the best local school, or the only one they are able to get to. They also involve a degree of brainwashing! There should be no state-funded religious schools. If parents want their children to have a religious education, they should arrange private RE lessons and not expect the taxpayer to fund them.
