That's all very well but, as most people don't have the urge to go to church nowadays, maybe they should get just as much a grounding in Christianities principles, rituals, symbols, etc., even as an impartial observance, just as much as in the others. It's like many of us go all over the world on holiday, yet never visit some of the wonders within only a few miles from where we live.
