[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3396101, member: 5412"] I did too. Every day in fact. Went to a private school supported by a church. It didn't turn me into some religious zealot or bible thumper. Just gave me an understanding of that religion and the understanding of right and wrong in society related to it. I actually questioned some of the teaching. I was a skeptic even then about what I was told. I'm actually mixed about teaching religion in public schools. I don't believe it should be teached as a curriculum, but I do believe there should be a history class about every religion to inform the students how religion has shaped history. Every religion has their own side of the story, so again I'm not sure how that history can be presented without bias by the teacher. Perhaps Buddhism started in this century and this was their theory about a higher figure, then move on to Shinto with the same requirement that only the history of when it started and its basic theory's of a higher being, and move on to the rest. Must be in a documented class session with no deviation from the written curriculum, presented and moved on. Ok, I'm not an idiot and know that is a pipe dream about education that will never happen so I just wore out my finger tips even typing it. That is what would happen in a perfect world or years ago when education actually did that in my school. Just a general overall education about other religions. [/QUOTE]
