New study finds atheists/agnostics "the most knowledgeable" about religion.

How about we just don't decide for the children and when they get to an age where they question we leave it up to them, teach them to think on their own, and constantly question everything. Ignorance is a human condition not a religious one. I got 10/10 on the lame cnn quiz, but I'm not agnostic according to the definition within the quiz.

Thats what I think you will find most atheists agree with. Religious folks however have a nice attitude of ignorance that they pass on to children. How would a child learn to question and learn for itself when it gets told religion knows all the answers? Religious schools should not be allowed, and certainly shouldn't be state funded. Secular education, showing all sides of religion (including the bad) and then letting the child decide should be the way forwards.

Yet, I'm a religious person with a congregation full of similarly minded individuals. Churches like mine (where I do teach VOID ) can teach multiple religions, and the good and the Bad. I had a lesson a few months ago where I told all my kids that King david was a horrible person at times. We talked about taking the seeing the good in our heros while acknowledging the bad We discussed human nature and how to figure things out for yoourself. This was to a bunch of 6-11 year olds. I also teach an adult class, and I find them just as receptive and open in our discussions. For the adults we do comparative religious studies. I'm sure my adult students would like me to stop pointing out the beauty of the hebrew language, but I digress. We don't teach science in Bible school, and I agree we should put Religion into elementry or junior high public schools. When you're able to start selecting your classes, in high school and colege is where the options can be given. I'm Ok with all options being given, and as long as there isn't a semeser on how to make a bomb, or shootan abortion doctor in the class I'm fine with it.
