Meh, in the USA we have separation of church and state, so, unless you go to a private religious school, you can't practice RE.

Public Schools (state schools) can't have it here.

gawd playing the victim.
retroman i agree with all you said i really dont think re needs to be taught as it is a diffrent sort of subject and also if people would rather not learn it.
i took it for gcse and didnt enjoy it at all.. hardly turned up to any lessons or did any work and still got a B! just based on knowledge you pick up from other places which means you dont really need it .

How can people say that they don't agree with something (i.e., Islam, Christianity) if they are not prepared to learn about what it is? There is a big difference in being taught what some people believe, and being told that you too should believe it.

I don't think it should be compulsory, but it should be taught to those who want to learn about it.
