Remove requirements for schools to focus on Christianity in daily worship and RE

Currently most schools are required to deliver daily worship of a broadly Christian nature, and deliver religious education (RE) that reflects the fact that the religious traditions in Great Britain are in the main Christian. We want these requirements removed, so all religious are treated equally.

Education and daily assemblies should be neutral, yet schools are required to focus on Christianity in daily worship and religious education.

It’s important to teach children about religion and the different ways people around us live very different lives, but no one religion should be given priority in the law.
