As I type I’m looking forward to the four day Easter holiday. An article in the UK’s Guardian expresses concern about an increasingly secular society, the so-called New Atheists and mentions some new angles on religion, such as Karen Armstrong’s Charter of Compassion and Alain de Botton’s School of Life.
While I’m unconcerned about atheists new or old, I do think there may be room for a social charter of some sort. Something like the Core Curriculum taught by Educate Together. Still very much in the minority among Irish schools, they cater for all faiths and none- including my children.
