It is... philosophy, semantics and logic, both required by every accredited university in the US.
Critical thinking is still optional.... pity.

I would support it. And I don't think the more you know about religions would turn you into an atheist. Why? Because even an atheist is acknowledging the fact that there is a higher power. But as to comparing religions being a good thing I think they are. Religion to me is a study in the human nature and how we perceive the world. The ancients did so with the Gods and Goddesses of the various patheons, and even today we do the same. And there is the fact that no knowledge is a bad thing. At worst it will just raise more questions and make a person think. Not a bad thing at all! Maybe if these fanatics had gotten some comparative religious studies of their own or just read what their own scriptures said we wouldn't have jihad declared due to their stupidity.

Philosophy should be a requirement everywhere. It teaches you how to think and argue. One of the most valuable things I learned from my philosophy class was how to take apart someone's argument and reduce it to nothing. I rarely use that talent, though.

I agree with the above poster.
Logic should be taught. Philosophy is far to wide open a field to be dealt with in K-12. It should remain on the college level.

I think kids could get a lot more real life knowledge out of philosophy then some classes they have to take.

I think that at least a course in basic logic would be helpful.

Colossians 2:8
8See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.

I think that it would teach critical thinking skills, so why not?

Logic should be. Dunno about "Philosophy" per se.
