Some very interesting arguments in the article! The religious education of children is very problematic imho, as all to often ideas of tolerance and equal rights are not part of this education and this breeds intolerance and all the unfortunate outcomes associated with it. I think the education department could have a fundamental role to play in alleviating this issue, but that boils down to controversy between parental rights to choose their child's religious education vs children's right for education and the broader issue of social wellbeing.
Not for profit organisations have recently been given some pretty scary powers to deny employment opportunites to individuals whose 'morals and ethics' and lifestyle dont fit with the organisations moral framework. This is concerning given these organisations are often funded to provide services to very marginalised and disadvantaged members of society. One has to question is their agenda social welfare or religious recruitment?- but maybe I am just overly cynical :)
