What role do you think religion should play in education, and why?

Religion can teach people important life lessons and morals

I think religion should be talked about a lot more as god is good and it's important to spread the gospel.

It shouldn’t play a part in education, because if you want to be religious you can go to church.

I don't think religion should play a strict role in education as Canada is a multifaith country and limiting people to one religion and forcing its teaching could consider it as assimilation.

religion should be something parents teach and pass down thru generations. If a family decides to be athiest, that's their choice. if a child brought up in a religious household decides to be athirst, that's their choice too. if an athirst child turns religious, that's their choice. should be separate from education.

The role of religion in education is a complex and debated topic. Religion can provide valuable moral and ethical frameworks, historical context, and cultural understanding, which can enhance a well-rounded education.

Religion was here before I was born; therefore, people should be educated about it. But they should not be driven to rivalries based on past events.

Religion should have nothing to do with education. Any one has the right to learn regardless of their belief

To impart and establish vital values in individuals and youth in order to promote a safer and more productive society.

I believe all religions and philosophy should be taught in schools as a “liberal school” model. The idea being that if everyone understands the details of each other's beliefs and history and they understand various philosophical perspective and theories that they would become intelligent, knowledgeable and competent voting citizens.

Not much! Children should be able to choose their own path with little direction from teachers or others that are not part of their family .

Education should teach world religions but religion should not be imposed on anyone. It should only be taught and not imposed.

I think that children should be taught about multiple religions from a subjective perspective by people from multiple religions in school but not forced or coerced into any sort of religious ceremony (church, baptism, etc.) unless they want to

no I didn't think religion should play into education everyone should learn the same things and religion should be a class that they could take after school

Religion can play a part in education as it teaches morality, lessons, critical thinking, religion history and many more. I think it should be considered a course or subject because of these reasons.

There’s nothing wrong with being religious just be mindful that other people might not agree with your beliefs.

It's a structure on how our society was actually formed.

should play a part in the sense of community and safety

Absolutely NO ROLE. Religion has no place in publicly funded education institutions. Religious involvement in education is archaic at least and fosters fear and hatred. Look at the divides and hatred in our world rooted in corrupt egomaniacs using fear based religion to foster hate. Religion or I prefer spirituality should be part of a human mental health component where the education system explores different pathways not holy rollers or staunch Catholicism which is fear based and all about power over people especially women.

I don’t think religion should be apart of education at all, it’s off topic and distracting. religion is something that happens in someone’s personal life it shouldn’t be public nor forced in schools since there are variety’s of different religions.

Religion should be separate from general education. Science is science, and religion is religion. The two can coexist, but our scientific advancement should still be taught and explored in full, including topics some religions may not entirely agree with.

Religion should be free and not forced. While religion has positive aspects such as lessons about moral values and encouraging king actions, it should not determine education as there is no difference in brainwashing if it is forced upon the students.

Religion should not be involved in children's education at all. There shouldn't be any religious school boards or private schools, as this can cloud children's judgement on what religion they want to follow. It should be their choice, and children have no choice in where they go to school, it's their parent's decision. Christian schools go against basic rights in Canada. Everyone should be able to choose their religion, and children can be easily indoctrinated to follow their schools religion.

I think that religion should be teached in schools, so that the students can have interest on serving god or get to know god more. By teaching religion students may or may not learn good manners and right conducts.

I dont think your religon should impact your educatio though i feel you shoulfd feel free to express it and we should learn about important historical impacts that impacted them if there big like the holocaust but it shouldnt your chance of succeding just becuasde of your religon

Non. No religion should be pushed onto any person just because you feel like it.

I don’t think it should play any role in education because people have the right to believe what they want

I don't think religion should play a strict role in education as Canada is a multifaith country and limiting people to one religion and forcing its teaching could consider it as assimilation.

It should play no role, I don't think religion should have any mandatory effect on education

Religion can be important depending on what you believe.

I do believe religion should be taught in school as it does okay a role in history

Informational only - But discuss a range of education, not just catholicism.

Limited, religion should have no place in controlling what is taught in schools, but should be allowed to be taught as a subject to promote understanding between faiths or lack there of.

There is no place for religion in education . That is up for parents to educate their children .

If it's a religious school (Catholic schools, christian schools, etc.) The religion should be implied in classes.

Religion isn't very important in education because kids can get their educations and then they can decide what religion they want to believe in once they grow up.

I think religion should be talked about a lot more as god is good and it's important to spread the gospel.

Religion should have nothing to do with education. Any one has the right to learn regardless of their beliefs

I dont think it should have any role in public education at all

it depends if it is a private or public school. If it is a private school with a specific religion then you should study that.

Religion should play no role in forming educational policy.

Religion should play no role in public education but they have the right to their own private education.

If you go to a school designated to it then it's important, if not it should NOT be brought up or taught at all.

it shouldn't. education should be for everyone, and i think there should be a topic in either history of social studies that talks about diffrent religions and there history, no one answer is right, and its important to educate people, and not fear it.

that it should be taxed, too many religions have heavily political views and it goes from being a faith to a political party on its own.

I think that if it is a private school that has a specific religion it is okay and we’ll deserved but if it is a public school I think there should be no religious teaching because not everyone will have the same opinions.

Religion should be taught in schools to educate us. But never only one religion. If a school teaches Christianity it should also equally cover Muslim, Buddhist, and other religions.

Unless you go to a catholic school, I doubt it should do much.

You can teach about religion but only in a way that is objective and factual. other than that it has no place in education

The world is corrupt because there is no more true religion and God!!

None - religion should be taught in the home and education institutions should continue to celebrate, but not teach or enforce, all religions.

Religion should play a major role in the education of minors because it is a large group of people who believe in their own things and is faithful.

i think people should have an option to pick a religion class or not based on their believes

Education and religion should be two separate entities but to stop someone from wearing a religious symbol is ridiculous, divisive and non exclusive.

Religion should play no role in public education. It can be taught in a religion or history class, but history shouldn't be viewed through the lens of religion, nor should religion class be biased towards 1 religion in particular. Religion should not enter science class, ever.

My opinion, in the educational system religion should not be taught because what if someone else disagrees with the religion that is being taught.

None. Religion has no place in primary education. Unless it's of historical context. And not the teachings of theology.

I believe religion should be taught in school, however not in a way that is objective. It should be taught from a diverse perspective - this way kids are exposed to different religions and have a better understanding of the cultures surrounding them.

Religion should play a guiding role in education, because this allows students to feel the charm of faith.

I think religion should be optional and open to anyone who is interested. I do not think it should be pushed
