But yes, what im getting at is there were some student who would be considered an ethnic minority, particularly in an all boys school in belfast. But during the R.E lessons that didnt stop the teacher from inquiring about his muslim beliefs on the various different aspects being studied. It also allowed the students to have a broader understanding, but not once did he feel intimidated in a school where every morning the lords prayer was said and each week he'd have to attend a biblical class.
There is a big difference between going to school in Ireland and The Bible Belt of the US.

Agreed. The religious should not make a big fuss about removing religion from schools. I don't see what the fuss is about. It's not like people are stopping them from worshipping.

See what I did there?
