Dan Dennett may enjoy overtly religious songs, but Dan Dennett is not 5 years old. Why do you think that Christian religious worship is mandatory in the UK for school children aged up to 11 but then after that it is not?
It does do harm. It was religious songs at school which planted the seeds in my mind which as an adult enabled me to find the whole god/Jesus concept plausible. I was not happy when my little girl came home singing My god is so big. Until then she knew nothing of religion, they aren't getting my baby!
