" All four of my children used to attend a full-time Islamic school."

Children can not understand metaphors, they don't need "religion education."

Just going to religion school does not make someone spiritual. Spirituality is something to work on in their adult life. I don't want my taxes supporting any religions, schools, or even giving religions tax breaks.

Children have a right to live in a secular home. The lie is if you follow the rules of one of the three book religions you will be spiritual. This is what we have today in Canada, so many narcissistic adults who think they are more pious than the rest of us.
