#ReligiousEducation is outdated, unpopular & opens the door to proselytising. There are many more subjects children need to learn. It's time to replace RE with something more appropriate for 21st century students. Join our campaign 👇 secularism.org.uk/21st-century-r… #Education
"In a pluralistic and increasingly secular society, our education system should be open and welcoming to all." @logomachist on the planned takeover of the secular Charlotte Sharman school in Southwark secularism.org.uk/news/2024/04/f…
In Newsline this week: • News: Faith school takeover proceeds despite overwhelming opposition • Update on a bill to remove Isle of Man bishops' vote • NSS: Ofsted research shows RE is “a hopeless case” Sign up here📷 civi.secularism.org.uk/newsletter-sig…
Our schools are being targeted and exploited by evangelical groups as part of their missionary work. We help parents challenge these attempts at indoctrination. Find out more 👇👇👇 secularism.org.uk/evangelism-in-… #Evangelism #Education
What part does challenging religious privilege play in protecting liberal democracy and its values? Find out at Secularism 2024! Tickets available now 👇 secularism.org.uk/secularism-2024
New Ofsted research concludes that RE "continues to wilt", with curricula often lacking "sufficient substance to prepare pupils to live in a complex world". secularism.org.uk/news/2024/04/n…

All children should enjoy the right to a suitable education in a safe setting. Too many are dropping off the radar. @NatSecSoc have welcomed proposals in Wales for a 'children missing education' database to help address this. secularism.org.uk/news/2024/04/n…
Today's Times investigation highlights the need for children not in school registers, better regulation of home schooling, greater powers for Ofsted and the closure of unregistered schools. Children’s rights simply aren't being protected. They should be. thetimes.co.uk/article/expose…
Our schools are for education, not indoctrination. Tell your MP more needs to be done to stop inappropriate religious #evangelism in our schools 👇👇👇secularism.org.uk/mp-letter-evan… #Education
Very concerning to see religious authority set up as a parallel legal system. By nature, religious ‘courts’ are concerned with ideology ahead of justice. Disputes should be resolved via secular process, where our shared system of law is applied equally. thetimes.co.uk/article/f4b9de…

@NatSecSoc I am so sorry to hear this. Doreen Massey was a true friend and a great supporter of secular causes.
The prayer ban was not discrimination against Muslim pupils. It applied to all faiths State schools should be secular spaces for pupils of all religions & none. School rules should be not changed to suit particular religious interpretations & demands theguardian.com/education/2024…
Two conferences, two attempts at shutting them down (one successful), two different responses. The attempt to close down the NatCon conference in Brussels is indefensible and should be opposed by anyone supportive of basic liberties. 1/

As should be the case in Australia ie. "No charity, religious or not, should be allowed to promote ideology which underpins spiritual abuse" and they should certainly not get govt support #nswpol #auspol
It’s yet another example of 'the advancement of religion' enabling charities to spread harm. No charity, religious or not, should be allowed to promote ideology which underpins spiritual abuse. Find out more about our campaign to reform charity law. 👇secularism.org.uk/charities/
Call me picky, but I'm not sure organisations that promote exorcism services should be registered charities... @ChtyCommission? #ItsThe21stCenturyFFS
A newly registered Islamic charity is stoking fears around “Black Magic” and has launched an ‘#exorcism’ service. These are the beliefs that fuel #SpiritualAbuse. secularism.org.uk/news/2024/04/i…

@NatSecSoc The case for religious control of our state/public services and their draw on public funds becomes increasingly untenable as the years go by.
