Its everyones right to have their beliefs just don't understand why it is taken to the extreme. Praying 5 times a day every day? Religious instruction after school is out even when religious education is performed during school days. I believe in God but it doesn't worry me that others don't and I wouldn't dream of trying to push my beliefs onto others or fighting with people because of what I believe. So yes, in a way I get what you are saying here Niamh, I can understand why people say religion is the root of all evil. I'm not judging, I'm just not understanding and I don't think I ever will.

I mean to say religion should have nothing to do with schools or state and shouldn't effect your job in anyway. If you want to practice religion do it in your own time basically.
