        I have no reason to think the school will do this badly. Headmaster told me he feels very strongly about it being a secular school.

        And yet its focus on respecting everything worries me. If its going to say there are reasons for believing in a god, I want to know what.

        They seem mostly to be apathetic unless they are religious. This does not work out well for the non-religious.

        India, a v religious country, but we don't have such structured religious teachings unless it's a faith school.

        I did want to take him out of the daily religious nonsense they do but other half thinks it would isolate him from his peers.

        Maybe what u should be questioning @HPluckrose is what Religious Education actually means? Religion & Education dont really belong together
