I'm not in favour of religion in the science class but religion is relevant in the world and its important to be able to view people through the lens of what they believe. | One of the studies that stands out in high school for me is the world religion unit in geography. I found it very interesting and it was completely appropriate for the class. We weren't being taught a religion, we were being taught about religions. Big difference.
Now, in my music appreciation class, we study world religion as it relates to the music of that religion and region. The kids are very open to it and I've had no complaints from students or parents.
