[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why don't you teach them to be thoughtful, critical, considerate, curious, and careful about anything they encounter, and then also share with them your tradition, that they will critically engage. This is the way. [/quote]

Teaching kindness and critical thinking is not mutually exclusive with teaching comparative religion.

Religion has okayed a critical role in shaping histories, cultures, laws, philosophies, Science art and more  …

But you are correct that personal character responsibility and kindness need to be at the foundation of such studies.

Yes, religion has played a critical role in shaping histories, etc.,  and I believe that such a role could have been, and has been, played by other forces.  There are very moral people who are not religious.  [/quote]

No question about that - none -  but the fact remains that religious beliefs and practices have shaped societies around the world - and to continue to shape them.

It is important for youth to be aware of what thoughts, beliefs and practices contributed to different parts of reality.

I strongly support division of church and state but not for revising history and reality to fit one belief system. [/quote]
