Does religion have a place in education? Multi-cultural Britain is also multi-faith, but Christian worship is still required in state schools. Is that fair? Some non-believers regard religion as superstitious clutter which should be kept out of schools altogether, but is non-belief neutral? Has the arrival of Muslim schools complicated the picture still further? Is it possible to please everybody on the place of religion in society? Sheena McDonald is joined by Baroness Julia Neuberger, a long-serving Liberal Democrat peer who is moving to the cross-benches following her appointment as senior rabbi in the West London synagogue; Richard Swinburne, who is emeritus Nolloth professor of the philosophy of the Christian religion at Oxford University; Andrew Copson is Chief Executive of the British Humanist Association; and Ibrahim Lawson of the Association of Muslim Schools.
