[Retroman]

I personally don't think it should be taught, as im non religious and quite frankly have no desire to learn or appreciate other cultures if I think they're false...
There's a major image that good people appreciate everything and everybody, and bad people only think about themselves, which I think influences people into trying to understand one another.

But at the same time, I have no interest in knowing lots of facts about a religion im not a part of. Just as I don't wish to know the insides and outsides of table tennis, as I have no interest in playing it.

However, it's probably better for us as a nation if it is taught, as some people will learn to accept other faiths and beliefs etc.

Sometimes learning more about others religion can offer more ammo to insult people with though.

Some people could also argue that if we were less aware on religion/not taught it, that we'd be less informed about the differences between religions and racism/prejudice would decrease, rather than increase.
