Discussions regarding education always seem to revolve around the USA. I am curious to know exactly how religion is taught in US public schools, and how it compares to other education systems from around the world.
For example, in the UK we have Religious Education classes. In these we are taught
about different religions of the world, and their faiths and beliefs are often compared (e.g creation stories). Religion is kept out of the biology classroom.
I believe this topic will try and bring an international perspective into these discussions. I have noticed that countries outside the US are never mentioned when the issue of teaching evolution/creationism in schools is raised!
