Religious Education taught in our schools

Creation vs Evolution
This is quite a contriversial subject to open up, especially in this day and age. Should schools teach religion, and should it be creation or evolution - or even some other faith.

My young children attend a local primary school where religious education consists of the teaching of god and creation. I think they’re too young and disagree with showing only one side of the argument.

| 24-3-2008 | My son attaneds a Community Primary School in the East of England. He has already been taught about several world religions and he is jjst six years old! The default angle appears to be Christianity; my son belives that his Great Grnadmother went to Heaven to be with Jesus. I am an atheist, but I ha...more | Flea |
| 19-3-2008 | I go to a high school in Leicester and I have to say I think we should have a choice of whether we learn RE or not. We never learn anything anyway cause we are too busy messing around. | Liana |
| 11-1-2008 | I think they teach about religions at school - not which religion to follow. Religious hatred is a serious problem and the more we learn about the less ignorance there will be. Lets also ask the questions - does the USA have problems with sectarianism? And are they ignoring these problems by teachin...more | kev |
| 10-1-2008 | I am a family man. I rise early morn, work hard all day, pay bills, put food on the table, clothes on backs. At the end of everyday I am tired (I'll not curse at this point). Go home, shower, bite to eat, a little TV then bed. I bet you can't guess what happens the next day?

| 10-1-2008 | I think you're conflating two issues - that of science and that of religion. As a christian, I would not be happy with my children attending a creationist school or an atheist school. Completely atheist schools are, of course, illegal in the UK. It's not necessary to be christian and scienti...more | Ghoti |
| 02-1-2008 | How can you teach freeddom, fairness and democracy in schools when the God of Abraham as described in the so-called holy books is nothing but a fascist dictator?
This God is more fascist than Mussolini. More of a dictator than Genghis Khan. This God should be listed amongst the 10 worst beings th...more | Religion out of schools |
| 10-12-2007 | You yourself said that there is no set curriculum, so the problem lies with a specific school following what they believe to be correct- not the system as a whole. Therefore if you have a problem with the specific syllabus of one school, don't send your children there, other schools follow diffe...more | Ben |
| 27-11-2007 | I was brought up as a catholic as my fathers side of the family is very religious. Although my father took me to chuch most weeks and I went to a catholic school my parents never forced their views on me. I don't believe in God at all now and never really did but what I think is important is t...more | Dan |
| 15-11-2007 | There's not enough religion in the world to make us love one another, only enough to make us hate. | Luis Cyphre |
| 15-11-2007 | Zar,
You reprimand posters for not capitalizing God in their responses, yet you randomly throw capitals in your own ('Dichotomy ', 'Science', 'Biased', 'Mutually', 'Minigripe', etc.). I seem to recall something about glass houses and stones... Hmm. | Anonymous |
| 23-9-2007 | Alot of the commenters on this gripe seem to be missing the point, these young children are impressionable and more than likely still believe in Santa Claus, the tooth fairy and other childish fairytales. So imagine when a teacher tells them that theres a big man who lives in the sky and its him who...more | Shutupandlisten |
| 21-6-2007 | Well, there's nothing wrong with religious education per se, in my school it taught us about the ideals in various religions and cultures.
However when an infant school teacher tells a child that their God is the right one, then they have crossed a line. No teacher has the right to tell a ch...more | Frstsg |
