I've just saved my kids from this fate.  My mum wanted my kids to go to a Church of England school one day a week.  They professed to be open to all religions and none, and we had arranged that we could skip assembly.  Then when we visited the school the head teacher prompted the children to say grace before lunch.  Run away!
Mum's not religious, just a bit disapproving of home education.

The school is constantly shoving Christianity down our throats


Well, as far as things being shoved down your throat go, it can get a lot worse than a non-tangible idea.

Welcome. I attended Catholic schools most of my child hood and although I wasn't an atheist than, I had a lot of problems with the religion. One of the only classes I enjoyed were my religion classes, where I would attempt to back the teachers into a corner with their logic. I had pleasant results about 40% of the time.

I'm not saying you should get yourself into trouble, but it may entertain you a bit to ask them difficult questions, or point out the contradictions they teach.

Put some allergen on your hands everytime you go to church or people start praying around you...hands swell up.

Go to doctor. Get perscription to be excluded from prayer. Fixed.

Guess my parents being so caught up in their lives did me a favor. It's sad if you don't stand up with the "norm" you are put out.

Well this is the school i go to...I am an Atheist, so you can probably imagine all the fun I have here...



The school is constantly shoving Christianity down our throats and its actually pretty creepy, its almost like brainwashing, twice a week we have assemblies about 'being a good christian' and then twice/three times a week we have Religious Studies (which is just Christian studies) and we always have communion and religious events such as Christianty Day, which was awful. The slogan for the school is Deo Duce or in English: Led By God, and when they built the school they felt it necessary to spend tax payers money on a chapel (which nobody uses) when they have a church down the road. Just think its quite funny the amount of effort they need to go to, to try convince us that Christianity is true, its pathetic.

P.S
The cross glows are night WTF (can be seen for miles)
Also i was too young to decide what to believe and when I joined and I lived right near it, plus I didn't think they would be this pushy about there faith, its awful.
Is your family aware of your worldview?
