Spot on, mate. As an aside, I had an interesting opportunity several years ago when I was on the P&C of my kids' primary school. I offered to take any kids who didn't want to go to a scripture class for a lesson in philosophy. For that year, I had about twenty kids who got to discuss various ethical and general philosophical issues appropriate for their age. Some parents complained that I was undermining the role of scripture in the school (which I was, of course!), but the principal, to her credit, told those parents to take a hike.
