I think by having single religion schools we create a them and us feeling among the children.?

Question

For example, if one chool is being taught about one god and another is being told this is the only god, isnt it very confusing for all the kids to be told something different?
Surely mixed religion schools are the way forward from all the religious hate we seem to be creating in the world?

Answer 1

Agreed, it's not going to improve relationships between Catholic/Protestant or Muslim/Christian if they grow up not knowing people of other religions or sects. How can you relate to people with other beliefs if you don't know any of them?

Answer 2

I think childred should be told the truth and that there is only one God called many names, and that religion is man made, for man to brainwash, and made a good profit , what schools should teach is about faith, faith in God, and religion, which really saying you are following man, and not God, then maybe that would understand that God is not the one causing all these wars, it's man kind who hides beind the name of God, because he knows that he can con more to mans work than God's.

Love & Peace

Answer 3

I agree, I went to a girls only secondary school and I think this was bad enough, a lot of Asian girls went to my school. I believe this is because they are not supposed to intergrate with men until they are made to marry one.

Anyway, I think it is better for children to go to mixed sex and mixed culture schools. I don't know if this is just me but I think Jewish people are the cultural group who seperate themselves from everyone else the most. I've never met a Jewish person, who goes to a normal school.

Other races and religions seem alien to kids if they've never had the opportunity to intergrate with them and learn that they are the same as everyone else.

Answer 4

You're absolutely right. Religion should be taught in the home or the church of the parents choosing. In Northern Ireland and Scotland they have had segregated education for too many years and it has benefited no-one.

Answer 5

Most schools are mixed religion now unless they specify in one particular religion ie Roman Catholic, Muslim schools etc, but parents send their children to them schools knowing that that is their chosen faith.

But all schools now learn about other religions as part of their RE syllabus

Answer 6

before the mass imigration we had are seperat church schools my school was next door to the catholic school, there was a bit of rvalry but not much we all used to pal out together. the thing is, some religeons are more knowledgable than outhers. iall religeons of the earth exept one are not supposed to exist, because there is only one God, if two married women one muslim and one christian were pals and decided to go out one night on the town, they get chatted up by a couple of guys, and they both commit adultery, the Christian women will be excomunicated from her church the muslim may be stoned to death, how on earth can you intergrate that. what you are doing in your mind as far as i can see, is you are surrendering ythe ways of britain to foreign religeons. keep our christian schools seperat stop trying to confuse by intergration, let outhers have theres. The muslims see us as the infidel a satanic nation from their poinyt of view why woud they want to intergrate with satanic infidels. and why would we want to intergrate with people who thaught of us in that way.

Answer 7

turn that question around and think about it another way a state school V's private education and then look at different council authorities so much inconsistency anyway. so why worry don't just look at schools look at children's peers and family and the media to know where religious hatred may arise from.

Answer 8

l schools learn about the main religions irrespective of their orientation. They nay focus and practise only one but the kids learn the basic of the others too.

Answer 9

What are you on about? Can you give some specific examples?
