The bishop has been criticised by Barry Sheerman, the chairman of the schools select committee.

“A lot of taxpayers’ money is going into church schools and I think we should tease out what is happening here,” said Mr Sheerman, the Labour MP for Huddersfield.

"A group of bishops appear to be taking a much firmer line and I think it would be to call representatives in front of the committee to find out what is going on.

**"It seems to me that faith education works all right as long as people are not that serious about their faith. **

**"But as soon as there is a more doctrinaire attitude questions have to be asked. **

“It does become worrying when you get a new push from more fundamentalist bishops. This is taxpayers’ money after all.”

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read the bolded portions.

So what he is saying is that it’s alright for them to teach religion as long as it is “secular” religion.
