Happy Atheist day!

BTW I'm agnostic, so I'm not trying to convert you to belief in anything.

I was more agnostic than atheist myself, however recently I started moving towards atheism insofar as Russian affairs are concerned - Western Christianity is more or less acceptable, but Russian is very aggressive and oppressive flavour.

Too many current world problems are due to religions - the only way to address root cause of problems is to deal with religions, and the first step would be prohibition of teaching this stuff to children.

(I don't think I am, since I'm not pretending to be anything I'm not except to those who are holding up religion as a barrier.)

If it is hypocrisy, I can live with it. What I couldn't live with is holding my own beliefs above the future opportunities of my children and denying them acccess to a decent education for the sake of not telling a porky to the local cleric.

Do you actually have kids Ruprect?

Yep, 2. Don't get me wrong, I understand completely why you (and thousands like you) do it, but it propogates a 2 tier education system that denies many parents who all pay their fair share of tax (), giving the "religious" a better chance than the non. And that is fundamentally wrong.
