This just.... isn't true
When I was a kid we had a class called R.E.
Religious Education
The whole point of it was to inform and educate kids like us about the multitude of religious and non-religious beliefs in the world, and to allow us to form our own opinions, while also understanding different perspectives on the subject
Because learning about a religion is not the same as followimg or being made to adhere to it concepts.
You just described the whole philosophy of the educational course we were taught
Yeah I did. I don't know what I thought I read when I replied to your comment but somehow I interpreted it entirely opposite to what you actually wrote. I'm going to just go with an all encompassing 'I was a bit tired' and offer my apologies as we we're basically in agreement.
That would be good in theory, but incredibly easy to exploit.
Worked fine in the class I took at community college. We read parts of the Qu'ran, Torah, and New Testament, and I think parts of the Bagavad Ghita and some Buddhist texts. The course was fantastic, and I recommend everyone take something similar.
