Non-believers' view to be included in RE lessons

[SecularMotion]

PUPILS will be taught a secular viewpoint as part of their religious education classes when they return to school in September.

Cheshire East Council has approved an updated syllabus for RE which will be taught in non-faith schools across the borough.

But some councillors have expressed concern about including the secular stance alongside teaching about Christianity and other religions, saying it will decrease the amount of time available for the actual 'religious' part of the course.

Children will learn about Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism and now the secular view. Another religion can also be taught if it is prominent locally.

2. And isn't nonbelief prominent locally?

Doesn't it deserve inclusion? And how prominent is 'prominent'?
