The word religion is explained as "The belief in and worship of superhuman power or powers, especially a God or gods." There are currently over 4,000 religions, including faith groups, or different brances of church. Hinduism is the world's oldest religion. Hinduism goes back more than 4,000 years. Today, with more than 1 billion followers, Hinduism is one of the biggest religion worldwide, after Christianity and Islam.
Religion being taught in public school is a very controversial topic, there are many pros and cons for this. Many people believe no because they think that everyone should be able to make their own decisions and "be free" that it should not be forced. People have also said it could potentially create conflicts between those who are religion and those who are athiest but, Many also believe in both yes and no becuase they think that it should be taught in school but not forced for everyone to learn because some will say that making this a mandatory in not giving us the freedom we are told we have because "religion is a choice, not mandatory."
Many people believe yes because they think that it is important that everyone should have the opportunity to learn, be able to ask questions and able to get an educated anwser. Those who believe more on that they should not be able to teach in school have said "Religion can be taught at home" But those who haved anwsered yes have replied with saying that is not always the case because "some children want to learn about religion but with the advirment they are surrounded by causes them to not be able to"
My opinion on religion being taught in school is a definite yes, I think that students should have the opportunity to learn more, I do not think that it should be mandatory, I think this because I do not want those who don't want to be there have to be forced, but I definitely think it would be a great idea to include it as potentially a class.
Do you believe Religion can be taught at home?
Do you think Religion should be taught at school and for everyone to forced to learn?
What are yout thoughts on making this a optional class?

I don't think we should be forced to learn about religion in school because not only would it violate our 1st amendment right to freedom of religion (technically), but I also think it would be appropriate to have courses dedicated to just your religion and that it would also be more appropriate to be able to practice religion at home.
Do you believe that religion can be tought at home? Yes I do believe that Religion can be tought or practiced at home but can be chalangeing if you don't have a good person to talk to about it or ask questions. I think it should be made a class at school for a extra learning opertunity about your religion. I think it would be a great thing to have. If it was a class at school I don't think it should be made mandatory because there are kids who don't believe in anything, and that would make kids hate school even more if they had to sit in a class they didn't want to be in.
I totally agree! I definitely agree with you that religion can be hard to teach if you don't have a good person to talk to. I also agree that it should not be mandatory, but still an option.
1.) Yes, due to religion being kind of personal, or an opinion, I think it can be taught at home and can be practiced.
2.) I don't think it should be taught because people shouldn't be forced to practice religion. I do think it would be great if they taught it, due to religion being important, in my opinion, but I also know that some people don't care for religion.
3.) I think that religion in school shouldn't be mandatory but it would be great if it was an optional. If there was a class that teaches religion, there should be a class for each religion or one class that teaches every religion.
