Yes I agree ammi we can teach them about it and teach them why they happen and why people believe in false gods that is fine but as part of the same way we teach them about the Vikings etc. No faith schools, no praying, no ministers near schools and making sure that children know that star signs, werewolves, gods, ghosts etc do not exist there is no evidence what so ever.

Tolerance comes from knowing why people can believe in ghosts but making sure that the child knows categorically that there is zero evidence to support them and therefore do not exist.

Not by saying well, if some people believe in them then they "could be true" - all that does is encourage superstitions
