Talk:Religious education

message: This article is quite poor. It varies as it goes along as to what RE connotes, whether it's the way the religions teach themselves (in or out of school), or how religions are taught in society, or the role of the state in teaching them, or the position of religious schools. The article needs the hand of a good editor who can forge a consistent style. Dadge (talk) 10:49, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

another interesting thing to note is that some religions view the teaching of religion to children as morally wrong, as they are not old enough to understand or quesiton what they are taught. -- Tarquin 10:42 Mar 13, 2003 (UTC)
"Religions other than the state religion, even if ancient and respectable, are often deprecated in the national cultures (e.g. they are called "cults" in the news media). "
This sentence should be substantiated with examples, or made less broad ("there have been instances of..."). David.Monniaux 11:16, 21 Sep 2003 (UTC)

message: Is there a reason why there are no sub-headings in the sections on Europe and North America, for the different countries under discussion, but there are sub-heaidngs for the section on Asian countries?  I think sub-headings would be useful, and will add them unless there's a specific reason that I'm just not seeing. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 05:38, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sub-Headings 

message: The current wording contradicts itself, and is confusing. It claims that religious education is compulsory, but then goes on the state that children who are not members of a religious denomination receive education in Ethics. But Ethics is not a religion. It therefore follows that religious education is not compulsory, as those who are areligious can receive a secular alternative.
Can someone clarify this? Or else I'm going to change it to say religious education is not compulsory. Thanks. Alun (talk) 06:50, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

message: This article says that until the introduction of the National Curriculum, Religious Education was the sole compulsory subject in state schools. Should it mention that this was part of the Butler Education Act of 1944?Vorbee (talk) 18:33, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

message: Hello everyone, I added some information about character education but it was removed. Can we include this as it was one of the most recent and biggest studies?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7C:3172:8200:DC01:11BA:ACC0:FF03 (talk) 21:07, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
