Absolutely none, we should not teach children religion in school
@9KHDMY31yr1Y
I do not think religion should have any kind of role in education.
@9KJ98D81yr1Y
The role of religion in public school should be delegated to only talking about how different religions have effected the us and world in private religious schools and institutions I believe they should be allowed to have more in depth conversations
@9KK9VQ41yr1Y
It shouldn't play any role in education. There are many different religions, as such it is impossible to teach anything with it being 100% fact in all of them. I believe in religious freedom going both ways, you should be allowed to believe what you like, but to also not believe. One should choose their beliefs, not have ot forced down their throats until they are old enough to look at life through a different lense.
@9KMBX7R1yr1Y
If you make a child beliefs the exact same as everyone else you have no diversity in anything except for race
@9KP3Y771yr1Y
A lot because then a person can choose for themselves what they believe in & not solely on what they grew up on.
@9KTJHW21yr1Y
Except for private education, public education should set the standard for religious tolerance. I see it a lot in today’s society that individuals lack tolerance for another individual’s beliefs or faith. Teaching children at a early age and promoting religious tolerance will benefit society.

Education and religion should be kept separated except for learning the history and facts about all kinds of religion. Religion is a choice Education is required.
@9KJLP6M1yr1Y
Religion should be a choice made by the individual, after they have learned the basics of each and explored how their own values align.
@9KHS8T91yr1Y
i feel students should be able to choose if they learn about religion
@9KLBB5S1yr1Y
If you’re going to teach history, teach history, including religion. I don’t think any particular religion should be proselytized. I think a brief history of different religions could be valuable though.
@9KQZ3FJ1yr1Y
I think religion and education need to stay out of the public school system.
@9KRF3SK1yr1Y
I would want people to have their own religion as long as its not like dangerous
No, unless you want biology classes to teach that if you have your cattle mate in front of a striped stick they will give birth to a striped calf
Religion plays no role in life outside of your home.
@9KPT78Z1yr1Y
I think that religion should be taught only in instances where there is no intention of converting students to that religion. It is a part of our world and it is important to learn about but it it has no place in schools when the focus is conversion.
@9KHVS3LIndependent1yr1Y
Religion should play a role in education, to set family oriented policies
@9KHD5NS1yr1Y
It should play exactly no role in education we are a secular nation
@9KQYSC41yr1Y
None, unless studying religion as a historical concept.
@9KL9L851yr1Y
Religion should not play a role because we should stick to things we know are real plus I know talking about religion might make non religious kids feel uncomfortable
No religion should not be taught in our educational system outside of the boundaries of history.
@9KHPN831yr1Y
It should play a minor role unless parents wish to enroll their kids within a school of religion
@9KS3B8R1yr1Y
None, except in private schools that are explicitly religious, as I'm a firm believer in separation of church and state.
@9KMQ8W61yr1Y
None, religion should be kept separate and private
@9KDXXRZ1yr1Y
None, there is no state religion, keep it out of school.
@9KDSMJ41yr1Y
religion is history and moral, it should be taught.
@9KTC2T41yr1Y
I think the basic tenants of religion should be able to be taught. Not indoctrination, but simply education. This means teaching about all religions, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, etc. It should not be allowed to be a means of discrimination.
I think this subject is best addressed in the family unit. Not at school.
As long as the religious education stays in a theology format and not as a “how the government should run” then it should be fine. When it goes into trying to become part of laws and government dealings, then the separation of church and state has to be considered for a response.
Religion should no play in education outside of history courses at all (ONLY FOR HISTORY).
@9KDQX3Y1yr1Y
Religion should not be forced upon people, but the education system should be respectful towards a student’s religion
