It is kind of bizarre, that we have the Church as a central pillar of the State, yet are a profoundly secular society.
[eta] ahahahah you lot tried the Jovo excuse too then?:P I seem to recall we had pretty much al out kids in assembly (obviously apart from the Jovos) And you're right, it really was hard to spot the religion in assemblies. Sometimes the religious aspect was some little parable which then related to a real world situation (bit like Thought for The Day) but the emphasis was on the lesson, not the faith aspect: e.g. good samaritan. Other times, it was just a non religious assembly with a quick recitation of the Lord's Prayer atthe end, which was rushed out by 500 kids with no feeling whatsoever :P
