Christian schools are “bad” for the same reason all religious schools are “bad”: they indoctrinate children with dogma specific to their own beliefs. “Let children learn about different faiths, different religions. Let them notice their incompatibility and draw their own conclusions about the consequences of that incompatibility. As for whether any of them are “valid”, let them make up their own minds when they are old enough to do so”. (Richard Dawkins) How many religious schools apply this approach?
