Why is it that we spent a whole year on Christianity and half a year on other religions?
In my school, in Year 7, we spent the whole of the school year learning about Christianity in Religious Studies. We then in the following year covered two religions in the year, therefore making it half a year on each religion.
Aren't all of the religions equal and shouldn't we have equal time spent on each? What's so special about Christianity other than it's the religion of the UK? We should learn about all of them, not just our country's own religion.

If it's got anything like al-isla in the name, you can expect different again, If a state non-denominational school, get mater and pater to take it up with the headteacher, as all faith and belief systems should be given equal weight, as well as non-faith based notions of ethical behaviour.

umm i was about to say but then i realised you're in year seven but it might be a similar reason.
i'm doing gcse's and on the question papers it says stuff like 'what are the different views of the role of women in the house' in your answer refer to christianity and one other religion. this would mean you'd have to study christianity the most, and another religion for each topic that has oposite views.

At the end of the day, if you are religious etc, all faiths state we all worship one God. Not the most exciting of subjects regardless of an individuals faith, Then again we are constantly told its a diverse multi cultural society yahdy dahdy dah. I dont care about what religon, race or someone is. Its their personality that counts.
Hi omnom, you said to craft about what if we were to move and all we knew about was christianity. Well many years ago I worked in Saudi Arabia and the only religion taught or allowed to be practised anywhere was Islam. From that I would say at least our schools are teaching something of other religions which is a lot more than some countries do and we allowed to worship which ever we choose to.
