Should Religions Be Taught in Schools?

[Albrenia]

The proposition that schools can be separated from religion to assume an indifferent and impartial position is nonsense on its face. A clever but ill-intentioned ploy to subtlety supplant religion and enforce Atheism.That is to say, ‘secularism is is a byword State Atheism. See: Education in the US of America.

Nope.

State Atheism is horrible, just like any enforced stance on religion.

Secularism is the freedom to choose, and the freedom to not be brow-beaten or intimidated into any particular view or religious practises.

Of course, religion ought to be taught by school, parents and society at large. School must teach truth and not falsehood, and the Catholic Faith is the Truth. Different communities may teach their children their faiths too. School is to teach literacy and arithmetic, too, and skills for the performance of a persons’ duties. It is every person’s duty to worship God!

Make Catholicism a mandatory subject, and you will see the awesome sight of torch-bearing US evangelicals and liberals marching together to defend the freedom of religion. And freedom from religion, or in this case, freedom from the arbitrary encroachment of a random foreign church order from near the Mediterranean sea.

So you may think. I’ve been perfectly fine without any religion and I can’t see myself existing otherwise.

May you recover from the snares of the devil, by whom you are held captive to his will!

The US has never pushed state atheism, though sometimes k wish it would.

Review third sentence, first paragraph. Any religious person that fights for secularism is unwittingly fighting for the Devil and his evil!

True! Let's pray together to Allah and banish the devil, for Allah is the Most Merciful, Most Gracious. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, Alloohumma Innii A’uudzubka Minal Khubutsi Wal Khobaaitsi.

This is a prayer you are supposed to read before entering the bathroom but whatever

Impossible, because evil is the rejection of the Law.

Uh huh... what sin? Unless you somehow can see my “soul” and know me better than myself?
And I can see perfectly fine, thank you, though I admittedly sometimes need glasses to see things further afield.

That sounds like a Theocracy. You say that schools are a place of "Atheist indoctrination", but you want to turn them into a place of religious indoctrination.
And it is not my duty to worship something I do not believe in, or follow the doctrine of an organisation I despise.

God is merely the Devil in a white cloak. You’ve been fooled by your own dogma.

If law demands abortion and drug use, then you would get abortions and shoot up?

Perhaps, just maybe, law and morality are separate.

I guess they've never played D&D.

And returning to the thread topic, this why we need to teach our kids about different religions and points of views, so there is a less chance that they will be brainwashed by cults, or a foreign Italian church, or whatever.

D&D was also supposed to be of the devil in the 1980s.

Agreed. No doubt there should be an emphasis on critical thinking and encouraging research, knowing which sources are bullshit and others respectable.

Surely if they fought for their freedom of religion they would despise secularism; because it is a bargain with the devil; he delivers but with a not inconsiderable payment: the Muslim, Christian, Jew, Buddhist will say, ‘Grant us freedom, and we will pay you its destruction!’

Nope, secularism protects religions from the state.

That isn't freedom, that's special treatment. It is not s universally applicable tests, and would both violate the law and be politically unviable.

[New haven america]

Yes, religions should be free to evangelize in schools.

I hope the majority of America's youth adopts Hinduism and Shintoism.

I think you require a different kind of salvation, my friend. Perhaps a little more reading and research could help.
