        Went to a Church school, looking around at myself and all my school friends, this is probably the most efficient way of generating atheists.

        No, merely illustrative of the problem faced by many parents: that they can’t choose what school their children go to, because the faith school system takes away choice

        The claim that Professor Alice Roberts cannot choose what school to send her children to is a lie.

        Maybe you should research just how many primary schools there and how to apply to them. But then, if you benefited from a C of E education, you might want the same for your kids.
