Religion's Deadly Legacy

It would be good if the evil religious influence in Ireland was buried along with the wretched  corpse of  McGuiness but of course the Irish are still sending their children to Catholic and Protestant schools and Ireland stands as a horrible salutary illustration of the evil that religion does. England should set an example and decouple the Church from the State with an act of disestablishment that is long overdue. Only when organised religion is purged from the State and separated from it can we begin to leave its bloody legacy behind and move into a rational 21st century Republic, rejecting totally its depraved altruistic philosophy of sacrifice and self immolation.
