Quote: Sheldon "Very interesting, so religious organisations in the UK only receive funding for schools?'"
That's not what I said.
You referred to 'specific churches'. The taxpayer funds no churches at all. The churches fund themselves. The churches also fund their own diocesan or other organisational bodies, and other monies will come in through investments. For example, the Church of England is a massive land owner. At one point it was second only to the Queen I think in the amount of land it owned. That's simply historical. It makes money on that land or from it when it sells it and/or the property on it. And it's been selling a lot of church buildings and vicarages in recent years.
Religious charities are open to applying for the same external funding as are all other charities. So, for example, the Salvation Army (a religious charity) will be able to apply for stuff like lottery funding. I'd like to see you criticise their work.
Some religious schools - Jewish, Muslim, Roman Catholic and Church of England - receive funding either in part or wholly from the government (some receive no funding from the government). The church or churches do not receive that funding and nor do their diocesan or organisational bodies. It goes to the school in the same way as funding goes to any other state sector school. If a religious school receives such funding then it is subject to all the same rules, etc, that a non-religious school is which is to say not much difference really.
