# Where else would you be in a setting to learn?
It's not just about finding yourself, it's about understanding a massive influence in our world.

Also- you can only choose from the options you know you have.

# Ok, I appreciate that.
I was going off on the tangent that science teachers are going to be saying "well kids that's evolution...another opinion is that a god may have made all of this stuff." Which is bollocks.

I'm not really against making kids aware of other faiths and beliefs.

# I'm actually an athiest
and I consider organised religion to be responsible for a great many evils in our history, and it's far from over.

I just want people to actually be informed, and stop hating what they don't understand, and maybe actually let people make up their mind what they believe without really knowing what they're choosing.
I'm against indoctrination and I don't think a true god (God) would actually object to his people knowing all the facts.

That said, I'm bowing out, this discussion is not one with a conclusion we can all agree on ;)

# No that's fine, I think we're pretty much on the same page
It was just "I believe all religions should be taught equally and presented truthfully as a belief system" that threw me, I thought you meant that religions should be taught as opposed to kids being taught about them.

Too deep for a Friday afternoon :)
