We want the Government to reform the school curriculum by making Religious Education an optional subject for all students between Years 7 and 13 to allow non-religious students to have their own beliefs and not have religion enforced on them.

Background
We feel that religious education is not necessary for student education, could make anyone at a school feel uncomfortable with their own religion (non-religion) and ensure inclusivity towards all.
