Should schools teach classes about religion?

Of course.  Even if you don't have a religion, its impact on society and world history is indispensable.

Yes.  But I don't trust American schools in executing the idea because religion means just Christianity right?

I can see how for some schools that might be the case, but it wasn't for my high school religion class.

Of course. Although when I say religion I really mean Catholicism.

It truly must be sad to live in your poor, sheltered little world.  I wonder, does it ever get lonely in that box of yours?

I went to a public school, and while we didn't have a separate class dedicated to world religions, we did units several years learning the differences between the major ones, such as Hinduism and Buddhism. We also covered the Reformation in history class. It gave me an excuse to argue with all the Lutherans to general amusement of those standing by.

I do think kids need to be aware of the existence of religious beliefs and how they shape world cultures, though I don't necessarily think it needs to be a separate class.

Same, and I went to a Catholic school. It seemed strange, but we did have a "World Religions" class that, when done by the book--which I think it was--covered the major religions equally.
