YES!! It is important that children grow up with a well rounded view of all religions so that they can choose which they wish to follow, if any, with a good understanding of them all. It also allows them to have an appreciation for all religions equally. With religious instruction and understanding comes sincere appreciation. With sincere appreciation the potential exists to reduce and hopefully eliminate religious wars and conflicts which are often due to ignorance.
No absolutely not...
Any religious teaching should be done at home where religion belongs not in the schools..
If parents want their children to learn about other religions the parents need to get off the couch hit the library and teach their child,The schools and especially the teachers have enough do as it is already.
Parents need to understand that the public schools are not the center of all knowledge,the schools are not there to teach children everything under the sun,Parents need to step up turn off the TV and teach their own child..
If religion was to be taught equally in the schools then by that same standard
of teaching about the christian,muslim,jewish religions ect the children would also be taught about such legally recognized religions such as Satanism, Wicca, Witchcraft, Voodoo and other such types of folk religions..
*Religion is best left out of public schools.....

Why should you don't need to have religious instructions in schools?
Opinions on this vary. But those who don't want to have religious instruction in school are probably afraid that a certain religion will be more or less imposed on children. After all, if a religion is to be taught, who should decide which religion will be taught? Would you agree with your children being taught (for example) Buddhism if you are a Christian; or Christianity if you are a Buddhist, because somebody else decided that that is the "best" religion? Those who do want religion may also have valid arguments - for example, they might consider that religion to be the source of morality/ethics. However, the problem persists, which religion should be taught. Of course it might be possible to teach several religions, depending on the children's preferences (or those of their parents). But that will increase the cost for the school.

How was religion taught in school?
Religion was never taught in school (if you mean public school). The pledge of allegiance was said at the beginning of the school day (having the term God in it), and you might have noticed the 10 commandments posted on the wall in one of your classrooms, but in general, religion was never a course that one could take for academic credit.

Should religion be taught in public school?
I think religion should be taught in public schools. It should not say this is what's right to believe and this is what's wrong, but students should be educated about the most predominant religions. It would allow students to get a better understanding of something and allow for more acceptance and maybe some will find a religion that suits them more.
