Just what are religious schools teachng our children?

I found this article on http://onegoodmove.org/1gm/ which I visit daily. It sums up my feelings about religious schools and religious beliefs being itroduced into secular schools quite nicely.

In troubles me that in our enlightened times we are still struggling with this pervasive need to raise children with a set of "values" that is derived from an ancient text, written by a primitive culture, and influenced by fear and ignorance. It is my belief that organized religions have survived well past their time of usefulness. In ancient times it was the method for binding a people ogether but now we have shared cultural experience to do that. Let's move past these superstitous contraints and live our lives with openess and freedom. I dare you.
