1. First of all, where do you live on this lovely blue planet of ours?

2. Did you/do you go to a state (public) school or a private school?

3. At the school you went to, or are currently attending, did they have religious education classes?

4. Regardless of whether they did or did not have religious education in your school, do you agree with religious education in schools?

5. Here in England, we do have religious education in state schools. However, parents have a legal right to remove their children from such lessons, if they don't like what their child is being taught. Obviously they would not have the same right for, let's say, mathematics. Should parents have a legal right to remove their children from religious education classes?

6. Is it OK to teach children that there are quite a few different religions in the world, and to teach the basic beliefs and structure of the main religions?

7. Would you remove your child from religious education classes, if they were being taught about Islam or Buddhism?

8. Should children be taught about atheism?
