When I found out my eight-year-old had been taught at school that there's no God, I was shocked.

Well, actually, it's the opposite: I'm an atheist and in Religious Instruction, my son was taught that God exists, and his saviour is Jesus.

Religious Instruction has no place in Queensland schools, argues Hugh Harris.

This admittedly contrived example illustrates why religious instruction is inherently discriminatory.

Considering we'd previously opted out our son from the program, I was appalled when he still attended the first class of the year. How vigilant must I be?
