Religion should be the choice of a person over 16 years of age. Until 16 the parents or guardian have sole and full responsibility for the child, NOT the government or the schools.

More details

Religion should be the choice of a person over 16 years of age. Until 16 the parents or guardian have sole and full responsibility of the child and decide what they believe is best. GOVERNMENT or SCHOOLS have no right to force Islam or any other religion upon our children. Some families are non religious and do not believe in any God. Muslims in the UK do not want to be taught about Christianity and neither do jehovah witnesses. forcing Islam must be stopped NOW.
