    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.
