This time in Britain. 15 and 16 year olds in Britain can take an optional religion class, where numerous religions are highlighted on a comparative basis. The Humanist Association in Britain objected to that as the curriculum did not include the teaching that there's an option of not any religion being believed in.

Cool all the victories that non believers are now winning around the world isn't it?
It is only fair that a class that compares different Religions include the Religion of Secular Humanism and the Religion of Atheism.
It looks like the British courts are catching on to what the American courts already have reasoned out and declared.

But also, if you are going to compare religion, you might as well include parts about how the pilgrims said in their diaries and histories that some of the rapidly declining number of Indian tribes they encountered had no traditions of any gods or any religious rituals, and how even today, there are tribes in South America (Piraha) and Africa (Hadza) with no religion nor any possibilities of any afterlives. Not including the purely agnostic Vedahs of Ceylon.
Don't we need to understand their historical way of life as well?
What is the "Religion of Atheism" and who leads it? Seems more like a Sports or Philosophy Club if it has no superhuman idolized character. Still, why would religions deserve more academic respect than Sports and Philosophy Clubs? I know sports receive more economic respect than religions, but doesn't that make them specifically more socially important than religious clubs? Then again, religion is far more stuck on consuming the member's whole life and learning of history than sports could ever be.
Still, I fear that without secular education on Christianity (and/or other false religions), they will just grow in the shadows depending on how wars go and such other cultural fads.

ALL should be compared...and fully explained.
The Religion of Atheism is Atheism...obviously.
Nobody "leads" it...though they have had some prominent "frontmen".
They have a few Deities they have either invented or adopted...among them The Flying Spaghetti Monster and Invisible Pink Unicorns, also some association with Orbital Teapots ...though their main Deity can be summed up as "NOGODAH".
I would be glad to donate my time as a guest lecturer for the class on the days Secular Humanism and/or Atheism are reviewed.

I was wondering what you were up to.
I do think the work "atheist" should be dropped. I like "enlightened".
I don't have any frontmen, for my lack of belief in gods.
I use "they" to refer to All Secular Humanists and Atheists, collectively, in general. That would represent scores upon scores of millions.
One individual alone would not necessarily represent the collective.
