Britain's state-funded school system includes roughly 7,000 schools with a religious affiliation, close to a third of the total, and Richard Dawkins sets out to examine what that means for children who attend them. The evolutionary biologist visits classrooms and talks with head teachers, parents, and pupils, pressing them on how creationism, sex education, and admissions policies work inside faith schools funded by public money. He brings in journalists, scientists, and politicians to argue both sides, from defenders who see faith schools as providing moral structure and strong academic results to critics who worry that segregating children by religion entrenches division rather than easing it. Dawkins is an open participant rather than a neutral host, pushing his view that schooling should rest on evidence rather than doctrine, and some interviews turn openly adversarial. The film stays focused on Britain's specific arrangement, where the state pays for religious education, and lets people running and attending these schools make their own case on camera before Dawkins responds.
