Schools should teach the predominant religion in schools?

On average, everyone strongly disagrees with nonconsensus between 388 voters.

Reasons To Disagree

Define "predominant".

we have specialist schools for this form of education

No. I'm a christian but I don't believe in forcing other people to belief in something they don't want to. Leave it up to schools (such as Catholic...) and individuals.

The government/public schools have no right to force the opinion of the majority, especially onto children.

If you want your kids to be taught religion at school you are foolish - but you have a right to pay fees for the religious school of your choice.

it is the parents responsibility to teach their children relidgion

No way. They should only teach comparitive religion as a part of philosophical studies.

Dont teach any religion.

religion is brainwashing teaching it is evil

This is a rediculous notion.

There are so many more useful things our children can be doing with their time.

Reasons To Agree

(As long as it is Protestant). Religion is important for understanding history. It is a tradition and has had lasting impacts on many areas that make up our way of life as a country. It also offers an alternative way of living and seeing the world. Parents can always opt their child out of a class by writing a letter, and once opted out, they should be looked after by the school e.g. sit in another class, etc.

Soly to teach values from predominant religions at an early age. Qualified theologians are not necessary as some preachers believe for they are just not there. They might be prejudiced too?

if students do not know about other religions what would happen if another student comes along with a very obvious different beliefs?

as long as those who dont want can opt out and get taught something else during the time - prehaps manners etc.,
