I think teaching one particular religion at a public school is wrong. Not everyone has the same beliefs, nor do they want another person's beliefs shoved down their throat. I felt like that at my school when we took a 'Teen Leadership' class, it was basically an abstinence and Christianity class.
Anyways im Catholic so i wont argue with non believers, But the fact that no one believes that there is a God who creates us is absurd.
I don't get how that thought is absurd. I can't believe in something there is no proof for.
As for the 3 questions in OP;
Is it right to believe in anything without proof?
No. For example, if I tell you that there is a floating pink and green unicorn behind you, would you believe me or would you turn around to prove me wrong? If you would choose to believe and not look behind you then I would say you're an idiot.
Can religions create world peace?
No. Just by reading news you can tell. Hating someone because of their sexual orientation automatically guarantees no world peace, ever. Unless of course you kill every single person who isn't heterosexual, that way you could have one mass era of genocide and then an era of peace for a short while... I guess..
Should religion be taught in public schools? Why or why not?
No. Mainly for the reason that a school would only teach 1-3 religions. If a person believes there must be some higher being that created everything, it's their business to research it for themselves without any outside influence. This also extends to me thinking that nobody should be forced into a religion while they're an infant, that should be classed as brainwashing.
