Disagree. People without any religious knowledge are more susceptible to being lured into one.
Instead, school should teach about the history (how they came to be) of the mayor religions.
Out of curiosity do you have any evidence to back that claim for those raised in an environment where you have a high degree of science education? Like I know without science to explain the natural world, religion makes "sense". But as long as you have a strong knowledge base in science I'm not convinced people would be easily swayed by religion.
For example, I was raised without religion, and I've never seen much of a reason to learn about it. That being said whenever I hear someone talk about religion it sounds particularly absurd to my ears. "Sky Daddy will fix all your ills, you just need to trust in sky Daddy. Sky Daddy doesn't like it when you X." I'm sorry, what? Uh no.
But did you learn about them and their history though? Even in one of the most laïc country in the world we heard a lot about various religions in relation to history etc.
Where I live now a lot of school are either super-liberal or the ones with a bit more structure are usually under this strange system where the schools are technically Christian but there's nothing about it in the lessons and kids from all religious backgrounds attend but they'll maybe have a bible somewhere or whatever because a lot of the funding for the schools come from the churches. That's even the case in some of these super liberal schools. Can't say I'm a fan of that and it's a part of why we're considering leaving.
Same reason as why sexual education is important. You can't make an informed choice if you're not informed.
No. We already know how to prevent that without teaching religion. Building a solid foundation on science, critical thinking and evidence based knowledge.
