Some who answered my previous question believe there is no difference. What do you think are some differences?

I believe your answer lies in the reason behind being taught a religion. Are you learning the religion to understand it's concepts and basic principles? In that case, then no, there is no real difference. However, if you are learning a religion in order to practice and follow it, then there is a major difference between that and say math. Namely being that to learn and then follow a religion, first you must have a developed sense of faith.

I think they should be taught that religion exists but not a specific religion. Simply that there are many religions and beliefs around the world and each should be respected the same. Beliefs, customs and religions should be practiced at a place other than school. I do agree with a moment of silence for those that want to pray to their God before starting the school day. If a person chose to have their child pray and practice a religion during school then they have the choice to enroll them in a school that does that but I don't think one specific religion should be taught or given an opinion to influence a religion one way or the other in a public school.

No, because math and religion are completely two different subjects. You can pull off science and religion being two opposites, and that math might be connected to religion. But being TAUGHT math and religion are topics that are so different, I don't think anyone can answer that question.

Math is taught using facts that remain the same no matter what religion you are and religion is taught based on what faith you follow.

Math and religion are different but that doesn't mean there is something wrong with one or the other. I'm a Christian and I like math.

Math and religion are not the same.
Being taught is.
Methods might be similar, results and content different.

absolutely. All people can agree on one anwser for math, it can be proven , yet with religion, there are many different ones and different beliefs. There really isn't a way to prove it, it jsut takes faith.

Math is more boring then religion, but at least it's based in reality.

We know that maths is consistent with reality, whereas there has never been any reason to believe that religion is.

Maths can be repeated and verified in objective reality.
Religion mostly give us subjective experiences (e.g. this book says this..., so I like to believe it means this...).
