does it bother you that religon is not in school?

Answer 1

Whose religion?

In other words, religion has no place in schools.

Answer 2

I kind of wish there were classes in school teaching about World Religions, in a non-biased way. This is because I am a religious studies major, and I have been amazed here at even the college level at how little the average person knows about religions (often including their own). I think it is important for students to get an education about what other people believe, so that when they come across an adherent of that faith, they will not accidentally offend them, and can be respectful.

Answer 3

Not in the least. Religion doesn't belong in school. Unless it's a comparative religions class which focuses on all religions without taking preference to any one religion, it is not the place of teachers to indoctrinate children toward one religion. If you have religion in schools, then inevitably there are going to be problems with fairness-- advantages for some kids just because they have a certain religion, and kids of other religions will be discriminated against.

Answer 4

I prefer it to be out of school. It turns schools into secular areas of worship and is really totally up to the parents if they want their child to study it. I have no prob with private religious schools, but not with public state ones. People of every walk of life should feel free to use the public system and teach their kids religious matters in their own time by taking them to church or bible practise whether it be christianity, judaism, islam etc etc it doesnt matter.

Religion is a personal faith and no political bearocracy or religion should enforce it into a public/federal curriculum

Answer 5

No, I just feel that religion should be a part of every child's up-bringing. Schools should be separated by religion and should be just as important as math and tolerance. If parents want their children to go to a non-denominational school, then by all means, they can go. Give the people what they want, if they want separation, okay. If they want togetherness, fine. Generally people are happier when they feel they are treated special. I agree.

Answer 6

It is in schools Evolution is a religon not science, and yes it bugs me like crazy that could at least give a very balanced broad teaching on all religons.

Answer 7

Sometimes it bothers me that we have gotten away from our historic roots of faith, including but not exclusive to, in the classrooms.

Our teachers today are not qualified to teach religion(s), because it is a specialty in itself, like science or reading or math.

Our grandparents had religion in the schools, and they suffered some of the worse problems America ever experienced; religion in the schools is not the answer.

John Adams (3rd POTUS) said that our Constitution was wholly unsuited to governing a people who were not keepers of the Ten Commandments. Sure enough, he was right.

Answer 8

Whose religion? I studied religions in school, and college. If you mean that religions aren't practiced in public school.

Well, it doesn't bother me a bit.

Have you ever heard of Sunday School?

Answer 9

I think we should be able to express our religion in schools. School is suppose to get us ready for the real world where religion can be expressed. We should be able to learn to tolerate things like religion early.

Answer 10

Schools should have a class where students can learn how to meditate. But, not everyone will like that so, then its better that there is no such teachings in school.

Answer 11

Just because God and Christianity have been kicked out to the schools does not mean religion is not being taught. The religious philosophy of heathenistic liberal humanism endorsed by all the major teacher unions is alive and well and being shoved down students throats every day.
