Religious studies is mad interesting. Religion has shaped our world for two thousand years, tons of shit happened.
Two thousand years is just the most recent stuff. I agree that ancient history in general is fascinating, when the realization hits that during things you learn about in a sentence or two, whole generations lived and died. And many more generations don't even have anything about them.
Agreed. I just said 2k because it's relatable. History is sadly very very short.
My teacher would bring in people from several faiths to talk about their religion and for us to ask questions.
But because I was a shitty 15 year old atheist in the early 00s, we quickly had a "no more than 3 questions each" rule, then a "only 1 question from Tar_alacaran" rule.
Honestly, if they didn't want to answer hard questions, they shouldn't have gone to a school.
Hah i was a shitty 15 yo atheist in the 90s. We were not liked by the Catholic school "staff".
Go further back. Christinanity before Christus ist the interesting part, how it happened and what it was before and all. And also, what religions they swallowed up and why some of it is Beelzebub and another is christmas. Oh, and also Moloch and Isis.
Oh how naive. You think a religious studies class in any cou try would actually be presenting an objective and historically accurate view of religion and how it has affected human society? Nah. Its mostly about trying to settle in the preffered default religion of the country into children's minds by way of repetition.
Fair point, thanks for educating me
We had compulsory religious education in the UK. But it's essentially a whistle-stop tour of all the world's religions, to give you a basic understanding, and not dogmatically reading the bible or anything
