In the country I'm in now religion is still taught in schools

[TechAtheist]

I'm in vacation in Poland right now and someone told me when we were talking about education mentioned that religion is taught in schools in Poland for elementary and high school.. Now for some reason I always thought that since in the USA religion can only be taught at religious schools not normal that religion would not be a class in normal schools in Poland .. Poland's a heavy Christian country just like the U.S. but I guess the politics are different .. As a former student in a special religious class for 2 years in order to be confirmed I had to take it .. At the time I was undecided about my faith like 50/50 and basically had no choice I had to go to religion school for a hour each Saturday. This all got me thinking in these schools in Poland and other Europe countries its sad to see students not being challenged if there's a question about life they can't answer it will be .. Well god did it.. Students are just wasting they're time that can be put into actual worthy good doing things instead they learn about God.. It upsets me .. Schools are a place for facts not faifth.
