i suppose it's a matter of opinion...
my opinion is that we shouldn't...
i believe that faith should be taught outside schools, at home and church etc., and that children should be given a well rounded education in their schools, away from the doctrination of religious enthusiasts.
i believe that children should meet people from all backgrounds at school (not just from their own religion) because this is the best way to make for a harmonious society, where we all have friends from different backgrounds.

This is in todays news too...good question.
I think.....in this present climate its not a good idea. As there are some areas where it will encourage segregation amongst other communites. When I was growing up, the only faith schools nearer to me where the Catholic schools and Jewish Schools as the area I grew up in at the time, the majority were the Orthodox Jewish community in that area.I'm NOT for or AGAINST Muslims schools, but with the present climate too...it wont be doing any favours really, people will always go on their own instincts and thoughts in what they THINK is taught at such schools breeding again ignorance and hatred. It would be better and wiser if all children from all faiths come together in one school, that way they learn from each other..I'm not too sure about R.E as I am STRONGLY aware that not alot of parents are happy to have this subject taught to their children at school...maybe this is where churches, mosques,temples,guduwaras and synogogues come in as they will have people who are better equiped with the religious knowledge of guidance to pass on the the future generation...some might agree, some might not !!!!

England certainly has. In the north west there are probably as many if not more faith based primary schools than 'secular' ones.

i flow to a Catholic college. sometimes i think of going to a non secular college with all Catholics is like going to a school with all white human beings or all African American human beings. The youngest childrens we've at our college are 3. i think of a turn away is that some childrens would think of that if somebody dosent believe in God, you ought to no longer be acquaintances with them, that's one hundred% untrue. something else is that non secular colleges are many times smaller, stricter, and extra high priced. some sturdy issues are which you get smaller instructions so the academics can get to extra human beings. yet another factor is the religion they practice... My family contributors does not flow to church that frequently. If I went to public colleges, i does no longer be so on the fringe of God. i think of it is going to be allowed, however the only factor that should be distinctive approximately non secular and public colleges is that non secular scholars get taught faith in college.

yes some people want their children brought up and educated with morals in a traditional way in their faith and if at the end we have adults who are productive in sociaty then what is the harm but if we end up with hooligans then what is the point in that method (including secular).

For public schools, no. For private schools, I don't really care.

so long as they aren't funded by my taxes, then fine.
as far as morality goes, religions don't score highly on that account (check any history book) so they shouldn't play that card.
