[Woo! Imagination xD]

When I was at school It was cumpulsory until third year and then optional for the last two.

I don't mind it being taught in school, however, I think with my school, because it was 78% muslim, they concentrated on Islam and Christianity. I think I would have found it a lot more interesting had we studied other religions.

I think that because they were teaching religions that we all knew about, we saw it as a bit of a doss subject. If however, we studied things like Buddhism, Sikhism, Hinduism, Judaism and other religions like that, I would have found it a lot more interesting. I did actually once suggest something to my teacher however was told that it wouldn't be right when we have so many people in the school that are the religions that were being taught.

I really think it should be taught because everybody needs to know about other religions being that we live in such a multicultural society, however, I don't believe that we should only learn about the more dominant religons.
