Helping children learn about religion

[lgullett]

Don't you think in this global world that children should learn about different religions? It helps them relate to cultures better as they socialize on the web more and more directly with people in other countries. Their future will be full of dealing with many different religions in cultures across the globe on an everyday basis. How people relate to others I think is based on their religious beliefs, so understanding them, helps build good relationships.

IMO, I think everyone should know and somewhat understand the other religions that exist. The problem I have is when people can believe in just one.

Yes, I think so. Just because I have my religion does not mean my children will. I tell them to learn as much about each one. A person in my opinion feels it in there heart if they are on the right path. I however would never condon murder or self suicide for religion. It goes against everything most religions believe.

I believe that teaching children about different religions would open up their minds about certain beliefs of other religion. It may help them when they become adults to further understand other religion around them.

Definitely...I'll appreciate your idea & thought.Very very very....nice thinking.If each & evrybody will think like you,then many of the social problems will not come.If everyone have respect for all religions then there'll be no religious violence,no terrorism.

I think our childeren will bring this stage in the future.We all should taught them about good things in other religions.So that they don't have any odd feelings for other religions & people.

Letting the children know about different religions would definitely open their minds why does other people are different. They will become so broad-minded that when the time comes, they might be the hope of the future.

I think that it is a good idea to teach children that the religion they believe in isn't the only one that exists and to introduce them to other religions in a manner that doesn't seem demeaning. I've noticed after studying different religions that they all have a similiar message. At the heart of them all, they all give a message of peace, to not steal or cheat, to love one another, and to help others out in need.
