Religion

I was recently asked by a co worker How do I feel about basic religion being taught as a required course in highschool. I thought about it and I think it would be a great idea for people to know about many of the other religions out there. Having knowledge of others religion will help us to understand people a little better. This course is not intended to persuade people in one direction or another, but for people to gain knowledge, even if they don't agree. Tell me what you think
