Faith based schools in England

It appears to me that as a country we are following the wrong policy in letting single faith schools become established especially with the help of our money. If all history is to be understood, there is a need to integrate children not segregate them by creed, race or nationality. Surely we can see from the troubles in Ireland that segregation leads to bitter hostility. We should give all children the chance to mix and plkay with other children no matter what their colour or their religion.
I think these schools should be banned and all state schools should be non religious based.
