Teach the philosophies of the religion, and how to think for yourself, and let the religions stand on their own merits.

I disagree. As long as r.e is taught objectively with no bias it should be taught. regardless of if we like it or not there are a whole lot of people with different beliefs we all encounter and by not teaching people that you are causing problems for them later when they have no idea why there are women in burkas wondering about.

Philosophy doesn't equip children to understand the differences of the people.
