Petition Action

Stop compulsory collective worship in state schools

Additional Information

Even in this day and age, children are forced to pray to God in state schools. This doesn't take into account whether the school is affiliated with a church or the child's own religious beliefs. Children should not be forced to pray to a deity which they may not believe in. Freedom of belief should be encouraged in state schools and schools should concentrate on teaching facts and allowing children to become free-thinkers capable of coming to their own conclusions after seeking evidence for themselves.
