Michael H and has recently challenged certain religious organisations that run Academies in the U nited K ingdom to devise and pursue their own faith‐based curricula in their schools. In this short article I examine some of the problems H and's challenge might encounter, including whether religious conceptions of worthwhile activities and of human flourishing can be as devoid of religious beliefs as H and would seem to wish and whether his challenge can be met.
