Simple question is a religious belief a choice or simply tought as the right thing to think.
if I am brought up as a chritian then i belive in cristianity, if iam brought up as a Hindu iam a Hindu.
If i am tought to think for myself but given the facts do i have religious faith at all?
My children are tought in a cristian school but given facts of many religions. but i dout they will become anything else that chritian if any.
But they belive what there teacher tells them as fact.
This is exactly why I think that teaching faith of any kind should not be allowed in schools. What makes one faith more worthy to be taught than another? It's ridiculous to suggest that we should teach both evolution and creationism in schools, and let them decide for themselves. A creationist education would, in most cases, be Christian, at least in the continent of America. What makes Christianity so special that it deserves to be taught over any other religion?
(Not that I think teaching any religion is justified.)
