I think if you go to a religious school than the bible should be taught, or whatever the holy book of that religious school may be...if you go to public school however, there should be no mention of any religion, be it catholic, christian, jewish, islam or anything else...your either for religion or you not, you cant just use some of it when its convenient...either the school is religious or its not, end of story

bible should only be tought in church....i've taken many cultural classes, and you do need to learn the cultures and in order to do so you have to learn their religion, and thats fine, long as they aren't making a single religion all mighty and powerful, which my english teacher did 2 semesters ago, that pissed me off.

i've taken sociology, at my school religion was not tought under sociology, you where tought cultures...and i don't think religon should be madatory, if its an elective fine, but forcing to make people take it, they would loose alot of people going to college if that was the case.....i wouldn't go to college if i was FORCED to be tought religion.

I think the five major religions should taught in school. And they do, at least in my school, under sociology...But it shouldn't be a required class...

actually, if they offered a cousre for all the religions, it would give kids a chance to increase their cultural diversity and they could learn more about their own religion and faith

The seperation of church and state is a good thing. People who wish for religion to be taught in schools seem to forget that only one religion would be taught, and it would be one belief from a myriad of differing beliefs. It would probably be Christianity, and it would be one version of that. People would then get upset, how dare they only teach the 'wrong belief', more angst, fustration. Lets just stop that before it happens, leave the church out of the goverment, and the goverment out of the church. Its a deomcracy, not a theocracy.

but i also think that religions whose doctrine involves violence should be completely outlawed for the same reason.
