Introduction The many arguments given by secularist groups to support the exclusion or restriction of religion from politics rely on a misunderstanding of modern pluralism in the society. A democratic society needs both political and religious views for a true democracy. The secularists hold that one’s religious views should remain personal and private and never should they be subjected to public discussion or undergo any form of public voting. A pluralist society accepts both religious and anti-religious viewpoints without preference to any. While many people agree the importance of sex education to children, there is a controversial debate whether to incorporate sex education in school curriculum or contents of sex education. From a religious perspective, schools should root for abstinence not safe sex; sex, condom use, or use of any contraceptive should never find its way into a classroom. Others view that the school sex curriculum should entail issues to do with safe sex. The discussion on sex education inevitably attracts both secular and religious views. However, the religious arguments ought to be rational in order to persuade even unbelievers. Therefore, religion plays a role in any democratic secular society in the formulation of laws. Introducing Religion into Politics The efforts to bring religion into public debates and more so regarding public policy formulation should also target to counter any problems that may arise.

He further argues religious people, in spite of what the religious books demand, be able to work through their ideas and compromise rather than being fanatical. This implies that the religious views should be rational for them to fit into public debates and any disagreements that may arise handled rationally. Christians have different views from non- Christians about sex and sexuality (Greenawalt 45). In formulating policies regarding sex education in schools, the views of religious leaders are important. Historically, the health experts advocated for sex education in schools that teaches children about avoiding pregnancy and keeping them from sexually transmitted diseases while the religious leaders advocated for abstinence education. The conventions about sex education are intimately bound to ethical teachings that insist on good moral behaviors. Nevertheless, members of specific religions bound by specific religious views regarding sexuality should not impose them on non-believers in a pluralist society. The influence of Secularism on Religion Majority of the religious beliefs are in one way or another under the influence of secularism. The influence of secularism is more notable in issues to do with morality where the influence on the religious people by a secularist view is high (Audi 133). Christians hold the view that sex education should entail abstinence from sexual intercourse but agree to a secularist belief; that is, use of contraceptives to prevent pregnancy and transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. Christians submit to the fact that their religious beliefs have little impact in an overwhelmingly secular s
