Apologies if I caused offense by my comments on spelling. Spelling reform happens to be a bee in my bonnet at present. - Being a member of Leicester Secular Society I didn't feel it necessary to respond in detail on the issue of religious education, since the policies of secularists and humanists on this subject are obvious and pretty well known. - The views of the BHA and the NSS are summarised on these pages: 
 
http://www.humanism.org.uk/site/cms/contentviewarticle.asp?article=1181 - http://www.secularism.org.uk/education.html?CPID=195290476bc552ca7fd83ec1fa4f02c9 - The BHA has a somewhat conciliatory approach, wanting Humanism taught alongside the major Religions in "Religious Education" classes (preferably renamed something like Ethics and Philosophy), while the NSS seeks more radical reform, though I suspect it will have to be step by step evolution.
