would it not be better to seperate schoolteaching and religion, by restricting religious instruction to adults

Answer 1

I don't know about restricting religious instruction to adults, but I feel that everyone should have the right to choose their own religious inclinations and not have it dictated or be subjected to a religious bias of any form in a school.

Answer 2

I agree absolutely. Religious instruction of the young should be removed from all forms of education. The religious lobby will hate such an idea, they know full well that children are vulnerable to indoctrination,and compulsory religious instruction produces more believers. Adults know too much, ask awkward questions, and require tangible evidence. Kids of course, believe in Fairies!

Answer 3

I don't agree with restricting religious instruction to adults but do believe school is not the place to teach religion. If parents believe religious instruction is important then let then arrange it out of school time.
For those that think Halloween was begun by wiccans, Halloween predates christianity, wicca was only invented mid 20th century. Like other religions before them they took a pre-existing holiday and used it for their own purposes.

Answer 4

Yes!
Religious education should be remain personal pursuit on the basis one's liking and trends.If a certain curricula is predetemined, it shall tanatamount to curbing the freedom of thought.However, if somebody has developed a liking for certain school of thoght, he may be facilitated by providing opportunities for research and guidance.Free initiative must be encouraged at all costs.

Answer 5

I don`t believe in religious schools eg Roman Catholic, C of E etc. School should be school. I don`t see why they have to have an affiliation with a particular religion. By all means learn about other religions and cultures, but keep school just school.

Answer 6

no it wouldnt.

the idea presented is only in regard to this life and saying nothing of the afterlife.

and not realizing that those adults who are taught religion would want their children to also be taught so that the house can thus run smoothly and not have conflicting beliefs and separate destinies.

that conflict might be in households anyway but at least its by choice and not by some law that is forced on families.

Answer 7

If ALL religious teachings were excluded, that would be acceptable.

But there are so many "BELIEF" systems out there being taught in public schools that it is hypocrisy to exclude only Christians.

Halloween is still allowed (a celebration begun by "Wiccans") Evolution is still taught even though it is only a theory/belief of those who can't PROVE it.
New age materialism is taught which makes "mother earth" their God....etc.

THE ONLY TARGET OF EXCLUSION IS CHRISTIANS.

Answer 8

No. Where did you get a crazy idea like that?
