There is no reason why religion should be taught in schools. To do so would be against the constitution therefore, against the law.

i would state that teaching religion in public schools should go from the perception, of this is what these people believe. and make it a comprehensive study course that would teach the basic beliefs and creation stories about several major world religions, and some of the smaller up and coming religions.
it could also touch on what a cult really is by definition, and how to recognize a dangerous cult. stay away from teaching one belief over the other, and avoid talking about hot political issues, such as Abortion and Gay marriage.
prepair for every sect of every religion to want their Day of the Class. and make sure that each religion is taught about for the same ammount of time.
and it should be an elected course, and not a required one.
keep prayer out of it, but possibly explain the psychological effects of Prayer and ritual.
look at religion from a psychological point of view. and avoid Faith conversations.

Start with this: Because we do have freedom of religion in America. There should be a basis of morality taught to some students since many don't have proper parenting. There weren't school shootings when religion was allowed. It doesn't have to be forced, just presented as an option. It might help keep students focused on good works instead of some other distractions that are overwhelmingly present at school such as drugs, lack of clothing, foul language, sexual discussions and behavior. Abstinence would greatly benefit school children so STDs, HIV and unwanted pregnancies wouldn't occur.
There are a lot of reasons if you just think on it. Good luck.
May God Bless you.

I don't believe that religion should be forced on anyone. However, I do think that it should be acceptable for ANYONE to be able to show their beliefs - just as long as they don't try to convert others. Religion is a personal choice, and it should stay that way. That debate sounds like fun. This won't be hard for you.
Also, when you refer to religion, make sure that you don't JUST talk about Christianity. There are other religions out there too. Bring those into your debate. You might not agree with them, but they are people too, and some might even be in your class or in your school.

i am against religion and or religions(isolated)groups although i am very spiritual,love God with all my heart but here goes:religions could be debated by the discussion of the many different ones and why they believe what they believe example:baptist believes in once saved always saved and not speaking in tongues totally opposite the penecostal that believes in the gift of tongues,research the religions and go from there and find why and what each believes in proving that there is a reason to learn about it......good luck

Well you could say that all religions should be represented to enchorage children to find their center. There could be like a 5 minute meditation/prayer time in schools that could be secular and private. It may help keep kids more focused. But it would only work if no one was discriminated against.

I think the approch of stating what is truly known about both religion and evolution and presenting each as a theory would be the way to go on this. Neither is proven as absolute fact, so present an unbiased factual lesson on each and let people choose what they want to believe.

Well, look what kids are today? Totally immoral. Being out done by other countries hands down! Killing each other. The kids today won't be able to run this nation tomorrow. In addition, they are oblivous to all of it and insist that they are "something special."
