@bazzacollins Interesting. A lot weighs on definition of "instruction" and "age of reason". Hard to know if he suggested practical steps. -
@KevinPocock Hitchens' general attitude to religion was there should be "a lot less of it". Worth reading his books on the topic.

@bazzacollins@KevinPocock Useful for them to know the basics of each other's religions just for social purposes, but not a whole subject. -
@adambanksdotcom@KevinPocock Yeah, I agree. Could be a small part of what we used to call PSE. -
@bazzacollins@adambanksdotcom Perhaps, yes. I do need to read more Hitchens; practically unpicking the knot of the issue a real challenge -
@bazzacollins@adambanksdotcom Also to add: in some areas the need for schools to temper perhaps-dangerous home indoctrination is real worry
