In Scotland - Religious observance must take place in Scottish schools at least six times a year - WHY!?

There isn't really a reason for it. Yes even though it's forcing religion upon people most still know it's all bs and remain atheist.

Why? Because it's legal, is why. When I was at school we had religious education and assemblies every single week of the school year. Reducing that to only six times a year is a huge concession in favour of the secularists and humanists. But don't panic - they are already making great progress in their attempt to silence everybody with religious faith and with the help of the Church of Scotland. Here is what they were up to in 2014:

"The Church of Scotland and the Humanist Society Scotland call for Religious Observance in schools to be renamed ‘time for reflection’. They argue that this would ensure inclusive gatherings for pupils, instead of assemblies that promote one faith or belief system over others. This would also ease the concerns of parents over religious indoctrination, and give pupils an opportunity to explore different faiths. The organisations further point out that such a reformation would better reflect the diverse demographics of modern-day Scotland.

The submission comes as the Scottish government considers a petition from the Scottish Secular Society, which calls for making Religious Observance an opt-in activity. Currently, Scottish schools are required to organise Religious Observance at least six times in a school year, but the British Humanist Association reports that many hold them weekly and often with strong Christian themes. The law also allows chaplains and other faith leaders to take part in the planning and presentation of religious observance assemblies, even in non-denominational schools."

Fortunately, not all Christians welcome reformed Religious Observance. Rev David Robertson, minister of St Peter’s Free Church in Dundee and director of the Solas Centre for Public Christianity, denounced the time of reflection and the Church of Scotland’s involvement: “I sometimes wonder if the Monty Python scriptwriters are running the Church of Scotland – essentially they are helping godless secular humanism to be lifted to the status of state religion.”

So stop complaining and exercise a little patience.

n Scotland - Religious observance must take place in Scottish schools at least six times a year - WHY!?

Why indeed?

One suspects that our legislators have not yet woken up to the fact that Britain is a POST-christian nation!

Time to dump this superstitious old boIIocks!

Come on Nicola! Sort it! Now!

There would have been no State schools, free to all children, had it not been for Protestant campaigning to establish a school in every parish. The Church of Scotland and all Protestant groups fought an immense battle not so long ago to educate the children of the poor. They wanted everybody to be able to read and write so they set up schools for poor children. It was only much later down the line that the State took over those schools, so that there are only a handful of church schools in Scotland today. The vast majority of all schools are State run and are entirely free to all children.

The law demands that parents ensure their children are educated, largely thanks to the Protestant revolution in education in the 1800s. The role of Christian faith in this is fundamental and enshrined in the law of the land. Thank God! The day all our State-run schools are legally devoid of any or all religious observance will be the day that secularists and humanists have taken over - all with the purpose of making our children godless and thankless. Scottish history will not be re-written, however. We owe it to our Protestant heritage to maintain a link with our Christian roots. Those who want to stamp Christianity out altogether are the enemies of Scotland.

Have you read the Declaration of Arbroath? Do you know why Scotland is a free people, free from the types of government that actually suppress your freedoms?

Do you know what the Stone of Scone is? Or who Scota is?

Are atheists so delicate that things such as this actually make you wail in pain?

Scotland to begin with were catholics, then protestants and now kind of a reformed presbyterians.

Thus morale values were engrained in the land incl the government. Christianity has govern the land since time immemorial.

Come onnnnnnnnnnnnn, they should prey to Allah every five minuets.

It he the reason in the USA Constitution, it is forbidden by law for establishing any state sponsored religion. In Scotland, Roman Catholic Church is the state religion. The entire population is "expected" to worship as Catholics and give money to them.

Do you recommend ignorance about religious matters. The most crucial events in the world revolve around religion and the most negative influence on those events is IGNORANCE.
