"Atheist wins discrimination case.
A teacher who lost out on promotion at a Roman Catholic school because he was
an atheist has won his claim for religious discrimination."

In 21st century Scotland, state schools are still segregated according to
religion. There are "denominational" schools (mainly RC) and "non-
denominational" schools, which Protestants like to call "Protestant" schools,
since the sporadic spiritual brainwashing is usually of a presbyterian nature.
Parents can choose where they send their children. Non-Catholics can't be
head teachers or religious education teachers in Catholic schools, which
seems reasonable.
