    I do not usually lurk in the A&A forum, but I became interested in the Primary School thread. It was very noticeable how reasoned, literate and civil the argument was, and very impressive that it got results.

    As a younger person I would have considered myself Christian (not RC), but for the last couple of decades I have moved further and further away until I described myself as agnostic in the last census. I have no problems with other people believing whatever they wish - my husband is a mass-going Catholic and he does all the fast days etc - but once it goes past the kind of cultural customs level I find it difficult to understand the kind of impassioned 'I know what God wants' discussion that is in the religious forums.

    I also find it difficult that many people cannot differentiate between moral decisions based on human and social requirements and those based solely on religious teaching.

    I am probably stating the obvious to the regulars in here, but the rational and tolerant attitudes I read in that thread I found very refreshing.
