My kids are 4 and 7 and get told about god. The school is just a bog standard state school.. I don't mind my children being taught about all different religions and the difference between them etc. I also think it's nice at Cristmas time to teach them why we celebrate Christmas and about Jesus/The Nativity Story.. but Reverend Thom who does the services at the school at Easter/Xmas etc takes it too far I think..

He was banging on last year about the crucifiction and the reserruction to a hall of 3-6 year olds! My daughter was all confused about people being able to come back to life... then this year they showed my daughter a film about the crucifiction! She was horrified!
