So I had a lot of that growing up and it didn't make sense.

See, that's the interesting concept, because people talk about drifting away and I see it here with my own kids in school.

there's a lot of the parents, like, this is coming up to Holy Communion week.

So basically, everybody is getting ready and they're doing all the bits and pieces.

And I've had conversations with these parents.

And these parents don't go to church.

These parents don't believe.

But they will still go through the motions.

And they go through the motions because this is what's been put in place.

It's become integrated into it.

So it's not about, you know, how much harm did it do?

It's the fact that it's

It's, what's the word, entrenched, ingrained into people.

100%.

100%.

And if somebody wants to grasp that as part of their identity, that's absolutely fine.

But that's not what this discussion is about.

This discussion is about children being able to attend state-funded schools with their constitutional right not to attend religion.

This is not an attack on religion.

This is not about taking religion away from people.
