    Ehh it depends how many religions they actually include. If they have several major world religions, they can educate on religious themes and cultural relevance etc.

    You know, different from religious indoctrination where you’re just told about one religion and graded on your ability to regurgitate it, not comprehend it.

        I went to a Catholic high school in Ontario. our religion classes in grade 11 and 12 were about world religions and ethics. they were actually quite good because our teacher was great

        however the grade nine and 10 religion classes were just Catholic indoctrination trash, though it was easy to ignore. just a waste of a period when I could have been taking art or something that I didn’t get enough exposure to

          I went to catholic school in California. Those religion classes were where I did my homework for the next class. It wasn’t like in 9th grade they were teaching something that they hadn’t taught in my Kindergarten through 8th grade. Just right “be a peacemaker” on the test and move on.

      Ginger, garlic, green onion.

      ( I’ve been making a lot of Szechuan food lately. )

      While they were eating, Jesus took garlic clove, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will not drink from this golden fruit of the churn from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Onions.

    One time I prayed to God and a different God answered my prayer in a language I didn’t understand so I just gave up and became a Buddhist monk but then they kicked me out of the monastery on account of my boobs and also I was wasted on sharpies all day. So I went back home and prayed again to see if anyone would answer in my language, the only one that matters but no one answered. So then I became a Buddhist monk and uhhh something about drawing all over my tits with sharpies in a temple and some angry bald guy telling me to leave. He was nice though he gave me a quarter to call my grandma for a ride. When she picked me up she told me she prayed I was safe but some other God answered her in wing dings and I didn’t understand how that was possible until I remembered she has Stephen Hawking’s old rig set up for herself. So I prayed to God she wouldn’t crash the car because she’s not exactly mobile and guess what?! My prayer got answered by a guy named Steve who called my dad an asshole in the 5th grade. I guess what I’m getting at is if you pray to God you could have a fun adventure like I did despite the fact that there’s no such thing as gods.
