One time I prayed to God and a different God answered my prayer in a language I didn't understand so I just gave up and became a Buddhist monk but then they kicked me out of the monastery on account of my boobs and also I was wasted on sharpies all day. So I went back home and prayed again to see if anyone would answer in my language, the only one that matters but no one answered. So then I became a Buddhist monk and uhhh something about drawing all over my tits with sharpies in a temple and some angry bald guy telling me to leave. He was nice though he gave me a quarter to call my grandma for a ride. When she picked me up she told me she prayed I was safe but some other God answered her in wing dings and I didn't understand how that was possible until I remembered she has Stephen Hawking's old rig set up for herself. So I prayed to God she wouldn't crash the car because she's not exactly mobile and guess what?! My prayer got answered by a guy named Steve who called my dad an asshole in the 5th grade. I guess what I'm getting at is if you pray to God you could have a fun adventure like I did despite the fact that there's no such thing as gods.
While they were eating, Jesus took garlic clove, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will not drink from this golden fruit of the churn from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Onions.
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.
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.
We had compulsory religious education in the UK. But it was 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
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.
TBF, and I have no idea the context of this image, but theology is an actual academic field which covers a lot of historical texts from varied cultures.
Last year I had to put to rest my official copies of the holy trinity. They were well used, an inspiration to us all and I frequently re-read chapter and verse for inspiration. The savior as a humble man, a peaceful man, professing love for others (and for lunch), small of stature and with large hairy feet, endures trials and tribulations including a soldier sticking a spear in his side
But they were paperbacks, bought in 1986, and read many, many times no more cheering the coming of the light, the drumbeats from the deep, true knights on noble steeds
Ehh it depends how many religions they actually include. If they have several major world religions, they can educate on religious themes and cultural relevance etc.
You know, different from religious indoctrination where you're just told about one religion and graded on your ability to regurgitate it, not comprehend it.
I went to a Catholic high school in Ontario. our religion classes in grade 11 and 12 were about world religions and ethics. they were actually quite good because our teacher was great
however the grade nine and 10 religion classes were just Catholic indoctrination trash, though it was easy to ignore. just a waste of a period when I could have been taking art or something that I didn't get enough exposure to
I went to catholic school in California. Those religion classes were where I did my homework for the next class. It wasn't like in 9th grade they were teaching something that they hadn't taught in my Kindergarten through 8th grade. Just right "be a peacemaker" on the test and move on.

Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Each individually the only god, but distinct from each other.

F+S+Hs=G
∴
G=0 or G=∞ depending on what seems more reasonable to you.
