If this trend continues, I'd hope for a mini break-resurgence of Christianity. Churches and biblical interpretations today are haywire, and are based not off the bible, but off of twisted word of mouth and whatever information said "Christian" learns from their parents and pastors. IMO, a religious or theology type course system should be implemented into public schools. They would have to fit specific qualifications and be as bias-free as possible, with rigorous instruction and education on important and prominent religious texts. Class discussions would perhaps be held over source material, but the instructor would be required to meet certain qualifications as to remain relatively impartial. I think people who believe and people who don't should know what they believe and what they don't.

  • That's called Religious Education (here in the UK, at least). Except it covers all the major religions these days, not just Christianity.

  • In the states we don't have it, and it's truly a shame. We have one course at my school, and it's one of only three high schools in my state that meet the requirements for the course. I'd like to see courses like this become widespread

  • I mean, RE courses are pretty much a mixture of Lifeskills/PSHE and History, so I don't think it's really necessary. Both hilarious and annoying is the fact that so many people dropped it for GCSE at my secondary school, that it became compulsory, because it was a waste of the teachers' time otherwise.

  • I have no idea what the second acronym means. But yeah, I don't know, I just think that if people knew about the thing they argued over the arguments would be more logical and the believers would actually believe. Or not. But they wouldn't be lukewarm like so many are now
