You'll probably also find that those who are devout also take more of an interest in their family and thus encourage their offspring not to fuq about at school.Comment

Or could you pray to a god and find out what number I am thinking of?
Or explain why a good and just God orders such horrific things in the OT?
Or why it is fair that a finite sin gains you an infinite punishement?
Or explain why there is so much bad science in the bible?
Or explain why the bible is so contradictory when it is being guided by a god?
Or explain why one religion is any better than the millions which it's followers discount out of hand?Comment

Why would this be? I mean, what interest would the church/mosque/temple have in running a school so they could attract and educate highly impressionable young people. Oh, wait a second......
The faith schools are heavily subsidised in order to attract people to them and indoctrinate the next generation into their beliefs. It's a straight forward commercial decision. Have a look around your local area, if there's a good faith school there then you will find lots of young married couples attending the religious services - what parent doesn't want to get their kids a good education.
I know couples who are openly atheist yet they still go to church and send their children to faith schools.Free advice and opinions - refunds are available if you are not 100% satisfied.Comment

If I was in a building, and knew there was a bomb that could go off at any time, I'd do my utmost to get everyone out. If people laughed at me, I'd still persist. If there were people I didn't like there, I'd still be shoving them towards the door.
So, if you really believe that we will all go to hell if we don't convert to Christianity, why on earth aren't you spending every waking minute fretting about it and trying to convert us? I get the impression there's more a smug "We'll see who's right" attitude. You can't lose - if you're right you're in heaven, where there is no suffering so you apparently won't care that people you loved who didn't believe haven't made it, if you're wrong then you're no worse off than anyone else.Comment
