Matthew Le God Posted 25 January, 2012 Share Posted 25 January, 2012 Not in my daughter's Catholic school it isn't. My daughter couldn't be anymore sceptical about religion if she tried and the school don't discourage this. I didn't say "all faith schools" or "every RE lesson at faith schools".

Saintandy666 Posted 25 January, 2012 Share Posted 25 January, 2012 Seems a weird subject to make compulsory, religion is just a bunch of f*cked up fairy tales IMO. Perhaps... but a lot of people believe in it, so I think it is important to know what people believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could apply the same logic to lots of things. Doesn't mean they require lessons in school about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 25 January, 2012 Share Posted 25 January, 2012 I'm not sure... it's deffo not compulsory to do a GCSE in it, but most schools do as it is compulsory to learn it, but here is what is compulsory anyways... http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/EducationAndLearning/14To19/Years10And11/DG_10013568 That's what I was thinking. Pretty sure it's only compulsory till year 9, not 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think they believe in it otherwise our churchs would be overflowing with worshippers I expect more people end up down the pub on Sunday.

Saintandy666 Posted 25 January, 2012 Share Posted 25 January, 2012 Creationism. Not in British schools anyway. Creationism is taught in R.S. Not as fact... but as, this is what some Christians believe in, but others believe it is just a metaphorical story, whereas others don't believe in it at all kind thing.

Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk That's true... but I was referring to worldwide, not the U.K. We're different, we are very secular, though even if we are secular, there are many apathetic Christians... who do believe in some form of Christian based deity.

trousers Posted 25 January, 2012 Share Posted 25 January, 2012 I didn't say "all faith schools" or "every RE lesson at faith schools". You're right. I've just read it back and you were indeed more ambiguous than I gave you credit for... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 26 January, 2012 Share Posted 26 January, 2012 (edited) I didn't say "all faith schools" or "every RE lesson at faith schools". You said the RE course is indoctrinating in faith schools. That is a ridiculous generalisation. Edited 26 January, 2012 by hypochondriac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
