    I was raised by a Quaker school and now I realise how important it was for my future. It gave my morals which I always hold onto even to this day

      Good man. Any faith that can bolster and develop ethical thought and moral principles can't be faulted. I don't believe in the subjugation of the vulnerable or the abuse of any sentient being which includes animals. I'm sorry but I can't sit in silence for one hour and waist time losing social cohesion which was my experience of a Quaker meeting?

      A Quaker school! I'm guessing that was in the USA?? There's more Quakers in the state of Pensylvania than there in the UK. I went to a Catholic school, for Religious studies GCSE's I wrote about the Catholic Church and Quakerism and the differences, because my grandmother was a Quaker whilst my mum wanted to raise me as a Catholic. I am glad my grandmother had a say on this and I'm proud of it.
