Arguments
There are more than 7 billion people in the world. More than 6 billion of them say they belong to a religion. If you want to know humanity, you have to know religion.
I’m a religious person myself, so RE might help me understand my own faith and life better.
It’s interesting to see how faith makes a difference to other people’s lives and viewpoints.
I’m on a search in life myself: finding answers to big questions. I’m not religious, but the different faiths give interesting ideas about the meaning of life. I’m open minded.
If you don’t know anything about religion, then you won’t be able to understand literature, or politics, or history, or art. They are all connected in some ways.
I’m not religious at the moment, but one day I might take it up. I’ll remember what I’ve learnt, and I’ll know a bit about where to start.
Loads of young people can’t make up their minds about God, life, death, beliefs and what they all mean. RE can help you do that.
Faith seems to help people when they are in trouble, so it might help pupils in school to learn about the comfort and help people get from religion. Everyone needs help in troubled times!
People need to study religion from the outside, so that they don’t get drawn in to beliefs that make no sense, and join a cult or something. Maybe RE can warn you off ‘bad religion’
Religious leaders and prophets – Jesus, or Buddha – are some of the greatest people ever. We can learn lots from them today.
In this country, over 60% of the population say they belong to a religion. These are the people I live with and will work with. I need to know what makes them tick.
The 1988 Education Act says all pupils in schools must get RE. It’s the law, and if you didn’t have RE, you’d be missing out.
There are six great world religions with hundreds or thousands or millions of followers in the UK. I need to know about these for pretty much any job I do.
I’m an atheist, not religious at all. RE helps me to know why I’m an atheist, and shows me what I am arguing against.
RE teaches you how to think about your own beliefs for yourself. It provokes you to be reasonable about beliefs.
This KS2 RE unit introduces pupils to the Five Pillars of Islam through clear explanations, structured activities and practical tasks.
