CMV Stated funded Religious schools should not exist

**Correct Title:  CMV State funded Religious schools should not exist**

Edit: I'm located in the UK

Many of us agree religion is the cause of major problems today. Segregation from others is not the way to solve this. 

What has religion got to do with education? Why should children have to pray and take part in holly communion if they attend a Catholic school at the expense of tax payers?
I'm looking to send my son to the best school, just by chance in my area its a catholic school. Why should he miss out on a better education because I simply refuse to let him take part in practicing religion until hes of age to decide for himself?

Should all schools not treat all children equal?

The fairness of it lies in the public funding.  Should a religious school get the same funding as others?  In the UK, as long as they follow a prescribed curriculum, they get funding.  The Catholic schools merely teach more.  There is no requirement that a school NOT teach things in order to receive funding.  

To more indirectly answer you, if the religion of the school factors into your decision and causes you to think of that school as undesirable, then perhaps it is not the "best."  That's a very subjective statement.  Also, there is a misunderstanding: Catholic schools in the UK do not generally require their students to become Catholic.  They merely give priority to Catholics when too many people sign up.  That makes sense for a school that delivers religious lessons with a Catholic focus (though they do teach most religions in religious studies class, it is from a Catholic viewpoint).
