That is not what I was speaking about. Did you miss the point of the original article, which is that a climate of opinion is being fostered in which parents will simply not be allowed to bring up children in their religion?
below you write: 'The process is very advanced in Britain, and freedom of religion is really on the edge of being legislated out of existence'. it's fair to argue that the catholic church's response to sex offending amongst its staff hasn't been appropriately dealt with and that the media appear to be pushing for a washing of the dirty linen in public. but i'm thinking that except in the obvious cases of aspects of sharia law, maybe where drug use is expected: rastafarianism, shamanism, and perhaps the carrying of weapons into courtrooms for instance, this argument of yours simply doesn't hold water?
taking the above into consideration and this: 'Considering that this is my freedom of speech, belief and expression that is in danger - and it is in danger here and now in this country', i think it's fair to expect you to back up your position because all my understanding and experience suggests that the uk situation is quite the opposite. i honestly do hope that you're not misrepresenting it to youself aswell as others?
