My other issue with RE is that whoever's teaching it is never going to be impartial.

RE as a subject couldn't be less trivial.

In most cases it's not like going to church (or any other place of worship) and being taught to believe the earth is flat and bearded men live on clouds etc fgs. It's a full education on the history and culture from around the world. Very valid education.
