France passed such a law.
In 1905.
Damn, Russia was late to the party. Only in 1918. Until Pu made state part of
KGBChurch again.
Alt: the freethought road versus the Orthodox route, a drawing from 1890 about the separate paths faith and reason will lead you to.
I recognize this artist instantly - it’s Matt Wuerker, a fellow student from Lewis & Clark College. He and I worked on the school paper at the same time - he had already developed his distinctive cartooning style at that age. I don’t recall ever talking with him, so I srsly doubt he would remember me, but I’ve always been a fan of his work. He’s one of the more distinguished L&C grads IMO - along with Monica Lewinsky and actress Markie Post (RIP, best known as the beautiful lawyer on Night Court).
Bro people just gonna walk around that wall.
That’s outside of scope
Children needs to be taught religion in a way they can comprehend the reasons to believe them, and make them understand what they’re believing in it. Otherwise cults can take over to exploit the lack of knowledge in religion.
Children need to be taught religions/cults are a means to bypass their logic and reason and appeal to their emotions, usually because they want something from them.
Especially the religions/cults that have high pressure recruitment.
And remember, the only difference between a cult and a religion is scale.
Disagree. People without any religious knowledge are more susceptible to being lured into one.
Instead, school should teach about the history (how they came to be) of the mayor religions.
Religion belongs in private not public
What about private schools?
Private schools are just that: privately funded. I used to attend a private “Christian school” and they were very open about what they would / wouldn’t be teaching there.
Taking money from public funds and use it to encourage religious teaching is wrong. Especially when their morals include “x people are less than/must submit to y people” and “people who do [fill in the blank] are sinning against God and their actions are unambiguously wrong”.
It’s a slippery slope, especially because my family went down a path of “physical and mental illness is a result of your sins and spiritual shortcomings.” I personally know of at least 3 pastors (whose church I used to attend) who have a child who eventually committed suicide. They do not see a connection.
It’s evil.
How about religious classes in the schools.
How about no?
(Its not forced)
Yet
Separating science from religion is how you get fundamentalism.
Seperating science from religion is how you get religion.
Now we just have to move the state away from science… maybe another wall?
