Atheists to oppose Christianity in schools
The National Federation of Atheist, Humanist and Secular Student Societies (AHS) is planning an offensive against Christianity in schools this summer. The AHS, supported by professors Richard Dawkins and AC Grayling, is aiming to set up a network of atheist groups in schools to oppose Christian groups.
It will also be launching its first atheist summer camp for children, which will teach that religious belief and teachings can prevent ethical and moral behaviour. The AHS wants to encourage students to lobby schools and local authorities about what is taught in RE lessons and to demand an end to daily acts of collective worship. It also wants societies to hold events to persuade students that there is no God. One of the co-founders of AHS, Chloë Clifford-Frith, said that the groups would serve as a direct challenge to the Christian message being taught in schools.
