Why ban them? they seem to get supported enough, and I don't think they teach too much religion anyway. The run of the mill catholic schools etc. are not all that different to state schools.....except the fees lol It's mostly a prestige thing.....I know parents who put their kids in a catholic school for years 11 and 12 so they would have a better school name on their HSC.

And also if we banned them what would we replace them with? it's not like the country spends squillions on education.

I would hazard a guess that no more students end up studying theology from the religious system than the mainstream system of schooling.

After further consideration, how much easier it would be to just ban all religions outright? We can move on to the social equity thing after that helian. Once people get a taste for banning things

Sounds like fascism to me Grey. I am still waiting on that list of things you would like to ban.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.
