Is there a third option?


Despite being an almost life long atheist my moral framework was (and remains) hugely influenced by religious teaching and such in junior school in the 1960s.

In the end there was probably not a huge difference between what I took from Bible stories, from boiled down Homer, from Aesop and from say the Lancelyn Green books of Egyptian, Greek and Norse myths. The power of story-telling to convey the how-are-we-to-live lessons was hugely influential and what I remembered of the Bible stories was not the supernatural stuff but how Jesus was reported to have carried himself as a moralist. Point being that we have possibly lost something here with the demotion of religious education in a secular context (and study of the classical world for that matter) that can be convey life lessons without the fear and brimstone.
