Are many any non-religious private schools? Do they get the same tax breaks
that the religious ones get?
Im not sure that the article shows that religion is the main reason people
send their kids there.

On page 3 first para is information for Humanists to note as to why

"younger people" are not joining. The 30-somethings while secular
themselves are sending their kids to Christian schools. Surely that is a
measure of the Humanist Societies to "sell" the secular concepts of values.

Also not p.2 2nd column first para that there has been a fall in people

declaring "no religion" between the 1996 and 2001 Censuses.

You will need to unzip the attachment first and then use Acrobat to
|
bring up the pdf file. Sorry it's a big file. The zipping only saved 14%
but for such a large file any saving of bandwidth is worthwhile.
| |
If you can't handle the technology, e-mail your fax number and I'll fax it.
I chose not to OCR it because the generated text loses the medium is the
|
message impact. The pdfs were too big to e-mail all in one go so it's been
split into three.
