Sunrise had a mini debate about whether or not Humanism should be given as an alternative to religious education. I think it's a fantastic idea! I remember when I was in primary school I chose not to attend RE classes and I, along with three other students, went to the principles office where we coloured and chatted and did nothing constructive.

I think it would be great for parents and students to have a choice - both teach good morals and ethics and both have the same goal for people to better themselves and be kinder to each other. At least those non religious students would still be learning.
