Many think that religion should be taught in schools while others think it should be avoided. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

It is argued that it would be better to teach religious
subjects
when
children
are studying as students in
school
,
however
, others believe learning these courses should be banned during
this
time
. Both views put forward valid points, but I prefer the latter. In the modern era, several religious parents are willing to be taught their religious principles to their pupils at an early age,
due to
the fact that their minds are fresh and are more likely to be successfully accepted them .
This
is to say, applying those kinds of classes in
school
, leads to students feeling a sense of unity for obtaining these
subjects
and they establish them in their minds as well.
This
trend plays a vital role when they get old because those people believe religious
beliefs
help them to become more tolerant when somethings bad come up,
such
as struggling with serious diseases.
However
, from an intellectual point of view, teaching religious books in schools would be problematic for the
children
's future life. As many
children
grow up with religious knowledge, they are more likely to establish some prejudiced
beliefs
in their minds, And they always make decisions based on their
beliefs
. What's more, they are unable to run their own thought
due to
religious boundaries.
For example
, in the USA, one of the religious leaders cause a wide variety of their follower intended to kill themselves without any sensible purpose. In my opinion, Taking some classes in the
school
is not a practical approach. I believe that
children
could be taught it by their parents.
Also
, since the
time
of teaching is really limited for learning several
subjects
, it would be better to take
time
for main and critical
subjects
,
such
as mathematics or science,
instead
of these useless
subjects
which have a positive effect on pupils' career prospects. In conclusion, several people would like to be taught religion to their
children
during
school
time
,
nonetheless
, I and others believe it would not be a suitable act because of a
school
time
limitation, and making some unpractical behaviour on child's
beliefs
.
