I don't mind it being taught in school as part of Religious Studies.

True, but then Buddhism should get a hearing too (or at least the most popular religions as well as UKs most popular one) ?
Liberal christianity has its own belief structures regarding salvation, sin etc, as compared to evangelical christianity. The term "liberal" has a specific meaning wrt Christianity.
For example, in the Anglican debates about women priests, the split was not along liberal/evangelical lines. Many liberals were opposed, many evangelicals in favour. Most anglo-catholics were opposed though.

I think it does. My mother was an agnostic RE teacher. She taught about all the major world religions. But in accordance with government guidelines, concentrated on the majority (at least historically) one in the UK.

Indeed. I'm not sure Buddhism is a religion per se.
I've read a fair bit and it does seem more like a manual for coping with life. More intelligent than the average religion anyway.
