| | Religious education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Religious education teaches the doctrines of a religion. | | | In the United States, religious education is often provided through supplementary "Sunday school", "Hebrew school", catechism classes, etc. taught to children at their family's place of worship, either in conjunction with worship services or some other time during the week, after weekday school classes. | | | However proponents of islamic religious education in public schools say that it is better than having the children go to sometimes fundamentalist and always completely uncontrolled native-language "Qur'an Schools" in the afternoon, with which even many of the children's parents are not too happy. |

| | Religious Education |
| | The issue of the religious education of children of Jewish and Christian interreligious marriages is particularly acute. | | | It is usually not presented as a religious tradition with which Jews have interacted spiritually for centuries. | | | Fayette Veverka of Villanova University then spoke about educating for religious particularity so as to foster an openness to a non-relativizing respect for the spiritual values of other religious traditions, most particularly in terms of the related traditions of Judaism and Christianity. |

| | Theology Today - Vol 49, No.1 - April 1992 - ARTICLE - Catechetical Language and Religious Education |
| | An education that deserves to be characterized as religious would have to include two quite distinct things: (1) an understanding of religion, starting but not ending with one's own religion; and (2) access to the free and intelligent practice of a particular form of religious life. | | | A. That the two major forms of religious education are (a) understanding religion (not just theology) and (b) providing access to the free and intelligent practice of a particular way of religious life, like being Presbyterian or Methodist or Lutheran, like being Muslim or Jewish or Christian. | | | A. That although most of their work is rightly centered on practice of a particular way of religious life, other kinds of educating in religion need to go on in schools and in the wider society. |

| | Dozens of different faith groups have been consulted on the guidance, which recommends that every child be taught Christianity, alongside the other major religions - Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism - throughout their schooling. | | | Pupils should also have the chance to discuss other religious traditions, such as the Baha'À faith, Jainism and Zoroastrianism, as well secular philosophies, such as humanism and atheism. | | | School pupils should learn about the conflicts and similarities between religions as well as understand less well-known beliefs, such as Jainism and Zoroastrianism, the education secretary, Charles Clarke, announced today, saying it was "vital" for a greater understanding of the wider world. |
