My child's school is indoctrinating my Child into religion, What Are My Rights?
Details:
My child attends a Scottish state school and has been raised areligious/atheist.
We signed a consent to RE however we were assured that it would be from an objective outside stance.
She said that she has been made to perform "the lord's prayer" at the end of every day after we caught her repeating it not only that but she also thought "it was Gaelic" so they hadn't even adequately explained to her what she was doing or what it represented.
What can I as a parent do to protect my child from this indoctrination?

It would be nice to be more careful about your responsibilities. If you knew what you were talking about, you would explain to her that it was a Jewish tradition for a Jewish rabbi to teach his Jewish followers a few Jewish prayers, and that is how the lord's prayer came to be. It is a uniquely Jewish prayer. Matthew 6:12 "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors" contradicts the Christian doctrines. The Epistle To The Romans carefully explains that there is no more forgiveness: either you believe in Jesus and are saved or you don't believe and are lost. When you point out that almost nobody ever notices that, it loses its power.
You have the right to remove her from that school and send her somewhere else. You never should have agreed in the first place.
I think you misread my question, my daughter's school is making her preform a daily religious observance supposedly as part of RE, something I do not and would never consent to.
Also I've explained it the best that I can, but she in only 4.
