No religions. Period in schools. I was forced to leave school every Wednesday, Walk to church for a couple of hours of bullshit and go back to school to learn somewhat useful shit. I hated it and tried to get out of it, but my parents wouldn't let me.

Not at all. Completely violates separation of church/state

I think religion is so imbeded in the culture that a class on Comparative Religions, World Religions, or Literacy of Religions needs to be taught. Look at all the religions of the world, compare and contrast. We need to be aware of all belief systems to respect all other peoples and so we can make informed critical decisions. Just like learning freaking Algebra. I sat through Algebra more than once and it never changed what I believed.

Only the true one

Critical thinking should be taught in schools, perhaps with exercises of "find the logical inconsistency" with church teachings. I'd support that kind of teaching aspects of religion lol.

Only as an "awareness" course.

Not as a truth or way of life/death ... as part of sociology as it relates to history and what religion has done for art, music and architecture while being certain not to leave out the death & suffering.

Has no place in public schools

Reminds me of the line.....We are both atheists, I just belive in one less god than you do.

I was raised by parents who insisted we attend church (Lutheran) every Sunday. I lost my religion before I was 18. My (estranged) wife was raised Catholic; she'd lapsed by the time I met her, in my early 30s. We baptized our daugher Episcopalean; we kind of met in the middle, and I went along with it because, while I'm not religious—and haven't really been since I was a teen—I recognize that religion is useful for some. It seemed to be, at the time, for my wife.

We have since separated. She (my estranged wife) has soured on organized religion. And I have quit attending any kind of church, since I was only really going for her.

My daughter has, therefore, been raised pretty much without religion. She professes to be an atheist. (She's 17.) But, recognizing that she really doesn't know much about religions, overall, she is very interested in taking comparative religion classes.

I think that's an awesome idea.

Whether you're atheist, agnostic, humanist, whatever, it's indisputable that religions have played a huge part in human history. We humans, as a species, seem to gravitate toward religion. The study of same—provided it's not just indoctrination—seems warranted to me. I support my daughter's interest in studying religions. She seems to approach the whole thing from a sociological and/or anthropological perspective.

And, as her dad, I think that's pretty effing cool.

Comparative Religion, one of my college courses, I learned a lot from that. But the trend seems to teach christianity, so my answer is NO.

Only if it was all religions. I have some doubt how some would teach those religions other than theirs.

NO religions should be taught in schools.

No

I posted several times on this thread....but is never enough when the topic is school and religion:
The only teaching of religions in the school should be informing the students of the impact this had / has on mankind.

I think school should be curriculum choice orientated. Like college. Starting in first grade, but having the choices begin with very rudimentary choiced and broadening as the grades advance. In my high school we signed up for classes every quarter...in middle school, too, come to think of it, with requirements for graduation. Made for a great an interesting school experience. And in this way, you can easily make religions classes you can take.

As fictional literature sort of like hans christian andersen

No religions unless in is part of a history or art history course

Sure, teach religion in history class in regards to its role in shaping world history.

Teach religion in literature class. Discuss the stories alongside Aesop's Fables and Greek mythology.

... and history, as examples of what not to do

No
