I disagree.Raven3333 said:if parents want their kids to learn about religion they can do it in their own time and at their own expence.
Sport's an extra-curricular activity, and yet they still make you do PE. Ditto for sex, but we still have sex-ed. Knitting and sowing could be said the same, but they're both taught in D&T.Exphate said:Religion is an extra curricular activity (outside HSC SOR) and shouldn't be taught in schools.

You know, I actually agree with you.moll. said:Religion, meanwhile, is one of the most defining influences upon world affairs and is frequently a cause for division, hatred and violence. Little bit of wisdom on the subject wouldn't go astray. See my response about 5 replies above as to how this could work.
Yes. We won't have any more holy wars. What a shame.P.T.F.E said:bloody hell whats the world coming to, fair enough to leave out the whole God thing but to teach there is no evidence...

its sad to see society crumbling as such the thing is as a country we hav no major religious stand anymore and it cause people to become materilistic and secular so if everyone is dead against religion dont celebrate easter or christmas because u probably dont even no the reason y we celebrate, it is sad from my point of veiw.

Get taught to what effect?gibbo153 said:we in NSW get taught to that effect
not as explicitly athiestically though.
we just get taught about the big bang theory, then move on
But then a child would only choose to learn about the religion which their parents and local holy man have shoved down their throat. People by their very nature never embrace chance, so why would they willingly learn about something if it could change them and their outlook upon life?The Eagle456840 said:All hail Darwin's Rotweiller, I prefer Pitbull Terrier actually.
I was actually being sarcastic but never mind. I'm not a Dawkins fan.
As to whether religion should be taught in schools, I think it should be optional. So if a kid wants to learn more about a religion be it Christianity or Buddhism amongst others outside of Studies of Religion, which is confined mostly by the syllabus, they can. If they don't, then they can have the option not to.
Nah, i was talking about high school.Exphate said:Add to this the hour a week in primary school.
Unless of course, that's what you mean by "old school" lol.
