(5,164 posts)For me here Im in NY. We did the pledge etc. When I lived in England we said the Lords Prayer and sang hymns in assembly. I think that was once per week. Im not religious and come from a mixed religious background with non believers. It had no meaning for me and I dont believe in pledges etc. I liked the music and it was good for knowledge etc that I learned that prayer. Although Im not religious I do pray occasionally in extreme circumstances, usually in a vague spiritual way. I dont believe in religious doctrines or organized religion. That was in the 67-70s. In Canada I was in a religious play for Christmas in nursery school. My father had an antisemitic math teacher in Canada in elementary school who made them read the Bible and told him he had to read the Old Testament when he refused to do it. 😹😳
