I "just" pointed out Catholic schools as they are (by far) the most widespread faith-based schools in the UK. Obviously I am aware that there are other faith-based schools. I don't believe there should be any.

I neither know nor care whether Muslim schools cover other religions in the religious education classes. It's irrelevant. Schools should touch on each religion equally and briefly, as historical fiction and superstition, along with dragons and the Minotaur.

They could cover the social and political consequences of religion more thoroughly in History, Sociology, Politics... etc.
