Should religious studies be taught in school?

The debate continues

A recurring discussion, both on the Isle of Man and further afield, is about the teaching of religious studies in schools.

Some hold the view that schools should be entirely secular, and separate from any influence of religion.

Others might argue learning about world religions is important in combating intolerance of other cultures.

Dollin Mercer asked Sue Moore, R.S. teacher and head teacher at QEII High School, her thoughts on the matter.
