THERE seems to be a strange inconsistency in parental attitudes to religious worship in school if Rob Meggs is correct in saying a majority have voted against it (HAS, Sept 10).

But is he right in concluding that they are anti-religious? I don’t worship my team at the Stadium of Light but I give them full support at home and in public.

Could Mr Meggs explain, therefore, why faith schools are the most oversubscribed schools in the land?

Could it be that parents recognise that these faith schools generally provide superb traditional values and moral education, have excellent results, and generate a loving and disciplined environment in which kids thrive?

Or could it be that Mr Meggs thinking, sadly clouded by misconceived anti-religious sentiment, is just simply wrong?
