Do they teach science in religion class at Christian schools? What about atheism?

Question

I've heard Christians refer to both as religions but then say Christianity isn't a religion, it is a way of life.

Is Christianity is taught in home economics or sociology class in Christian schools?

Answer 1

I was forced to go to christian school 1-8th grade. Usually it's pretty much like regular school except that there is usally a bible class, the teachers talk about god a lot more, sometimes they read from the bible and a lot of classes begin with prayer. I think there is a lot of "brainwashing" that goes on in christian school, like some girl saying something about "true" science. They have an elitist belief that only their way of life is right. This is servely annoying if your trying to learn about any other religon besides christianity, they do talk about other religons, but the talk about it the way a mouse talks about a cat, it's out to "get" them. Nothing i learned about religon there seemed very realstic or true to life.

As far as whether it's a religion or a way of life, I think all religon SHOULD be a way of life, I consider myself spiritual, I lean towards many wiccan and buddhist beliefs and there are even principals that I can pull out of the bible that I appreciate.

Answer 2

My church does a style of teaching that is called Classical Christian Education. As far as I can tell, that means that they show how God is in everything, so in every subject matter, they can learn more about the nature of God. Even math. Science is most definitely taught. God is behind the laws of science and that is great fun to explore how the world works.

They teach classes on worldviews where they explore how different people view things. They are taught about it instead of being exposed to it so that they can collectively discuss and learn about them in a non-confusing way. They also take classes on how to reason with logic (like would be used in a debate, finding faulty logic...) and rhetoric so they can express their thoughts. I never had a chance to attend that school, but I have seen the results. Those kids are amazingly smart. They've taken this on the road with FBLA competing with public school kids and have done incredibly well.

I know you’ll have a hard time understanding this so I’ll speak s-l-o-w-l-y. Christians don’t refer to Atheism as a religion, it is a religion by definition. Darwinists and Atheists deny it because they try to call it science. Now, don’t get me wrong, there is some science involved, but it takes a whole lot more faith to believe in “Something from nothing” than it does to believe there was a Creator. Christianity is a religion by definition, but it goes a whole lot deeper than that. But in order for you to question any of it, you need to learn more about it. But judging by your sentence “Is Christianity is taught in home economics or sociology class in Christian schools? “ you’re having enough problems with English class. So come back when you can write!

Evolution, isn't being debated by very many people.

What is being debated is did all life come from bacteria? Did man come from a Monkey?

That is the debate.

I don't see any evidence that says we did. There are some skeletons of some species and some have CONJECTURED that we have, but Aethists ask for God to appear in front of them and then they will believe. I am asking to see some EVIDENCE that we came from Monkey's and Bacteria. Failing that, I do not believe that we did.

Answer 5

I went to a Christian school. I got atheism in my religion classes -- we read Nietzsche, for example.

When you get into very deep scientific problems, you can't escape the presence of philosophy, specifically of the metaphysical presuppositions of science. Likewise, when you get very deeply into religious problems, you can't escape the presence of scientific observations about the universe. I hate this compartmentalizing. We need interdisciplinary work if we're ever going to come up with a Theory of Everything. All we have to do is lock out the fundamentalists.

Answer 6

Science is not a religion. Atheism is not a religion. Christianity is a religion. If they can't grasp even those three basic concepts, I don't care what they teach in their schools.

Answer 7

I go to a Christian school and yes I have a daily bible class and all of the books and curriculum go with Christianity.

Answer 8

They probably would, if they knew a thing about either.

Both science and atheism are considered religions. Someone needs to do a little more reading on what a "religion" is.

Code, Cultus, Community, Creed. Anything can be applied to these and become a religion.

Answer 9

I attended a Christian school, and yes we learned science--the TRUE science, not the false "science" of evolution.

We were taught about atheism..just facts about it and such..although it's such an empty way of life there wasn't much to learn about it.

Answer 10

I went to a non-denominational private school and we had our normal classes like any other school, then we had a bible class a couple days a week. We had normal science and math and everything else.
