So Tony Wilson thinks it’s OK for schools to teach that God doesn’t exist, but not OK for them to teach that he does (http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/01/06/1073268031323.html). If he was genuinely committed to atheism then he would welcome the opportunity for his world-view to compete with the other philosophical and religious “truths”.

If we want to provide our children with a balanced and well-rounded education, then we need to resist the secularist pressure to censor religious teaching in our schools.
