Religious stupidity is much worse in Idiot America but apparently the UK also has a religious fucktard problem. I found this at Wales Online. A Letter to the Editor written by a normal person and another letter written by a god-soaked anti-science idiot.

Self-righteous, elitist and undemocratic

Vicar’s daughter, Theresa May, and her new Education Minister Damian Hinds, a Catholic, intend to expand faith schools and remove the 50% quota cap in England. This is despite the fact that only 9% of the population of the UK practice a religion, an increasing majority have no faith, rising to over 70% for those aged below 30. This decision from on high is self-righteous, elitist and undemocratic.

Not only would I advise Kirsty Williams to resist such a change in policy I would encourage her to pursue a secular agenda that creates integration and not segregation strongly resisting the powerful faith school lobby. In The Sunday Times (February 18) it stated that ultra-Orthodox Jews are locked in a bitter row with education officials demanding the right the teach creationism in their schools. They also stated that the government were “infiltrating” the schools with the lie that the world was ancient and not 6,000 years old as claimed in the bible.

Amanda Spielman, head of Ofsted, highlighted the secret Islamic schools that are “poisoning the minds of young Muslims and narrowing young people’s horizons that isolate and segregate them under the pretext of religious belief.” In pursuit of maintaining their power and influence it’s crucial for these various faiths to isolate then indoctrinate young minds often, and scandalously, at the taxpayer expense.

It has to be said that many aspirational parents send their offspring to nice Church in Wales schools with low numbers of free school meals; the terms “on your knees to avoid the fees” I believe explains this phenomenon, which is exploiting the system of state funded faith schools.

This one was written by a Christian fucktard. Evolution makes this know-nothing asshole cry. There is a lot of fucking stupid here. This dipshit would love Idiot America. The stupid fucking asshole calls the strongest fact of science (evolution) a "faith position".

Man’s origins cannot be proven

Reader Dennis Coughlin (Letters, February 22) makes a case against the expansion of faith schools and encourages the pursuit of a secular agenda.

On the pros and cons of faith schools, suffice it to say that there are probably some good and others decidedly not so.

But I would like to pick up on Mr Coughlin’s point about schools which teach creationism. I take it that the gentleman holds to a long-age evolutionary world view.

It needs to be emphasised that man’s origins cannot be scientifically proven one way or the other, so a belief in evolution or in creation are both faith positions.

So why is the theory of evolution taught as fact in many of our schools and colleges? These should be places not to indoctrinate people , but rather to encourage questioning about the wonders and mysteries of life, and where honest answers should be given if possible.

Our pupils should learn that a molecules-to-man evolutionary belief demands that one believe in spontaneous generation - something proven to be impossible. Yes, it takes great faith to be an evolutionist.

A belief in creation on the other hand, points to a Creator and accountability to that Creator, leading to the desire to be guided by Biblical principles.

It cannot be any coincidence that the the drastic drop in the nation’s moral standards and the rise of secular humanism has coincided with the demise of Christianity.

In a week which has just seen the passing of the evangelist Billy Graham, I find myself somewhat in agreement with our letter writer. Yes, it’s high time we ditched religion - and welcomed again the preaching of the Gospel.
