Camp faithless: Is Britain's first atheist summer camp harmless fun or should we be worried?

29.07.09, Zoe Brennan, for DAILY MAIL (UK). You might have been forgiven for thinking the BBC was introducing a new presenter of one of its 'yoof' shows. Small, mousey-haired, personable Samantha Stein was given prominent airtime right across the BBC network yesterday to talk about a children's summer camp with a difference that she has set up in Britain. For Ms Stein has an axe - a very big one - to grind. She is an atheist who believes that traditional faith-based summer camps are bad for young minds. So she has set up her own version, where children are encouraged to reject traditional religious teachings.
