What role do you think religion should play in education, and why?

Religion should have no place in education whatsoever.

It's ok to have religious education, I don't even mind denominational schools, but failure to provide a holistic education, for any reason, is a grave injustice.

I think as a Catholic country, Catholic schools should still teach Christianity and religion, but I do not believe that we should be controlled by religion always.

It should be a part of the curriculum but freedom of religion should be enforced

Religion sets a great moral foundation for life. If you believe in nothing, you’ll believe in anything.

Religious education should be taught by explaining the principles of each faith, the history of the religion and what it entails. It should not be taught from a matter of fact perspective where children are told that it is the truth; it must be addressed as a possibility.

None - education should be secular to religion. Education is about facts, religion is not

No involvement necessary, and schools should be secular, as religion leads to sectarian division.

None. Children should be taught about various religions but religious practice in schools shouldn’t be allowed. Schools should not be indoctrinations zones either. Secular is better, inform don’t practice.

None. It should not influence teaching but we should at least learn about them.

None it's has no educational value. It can be incorporated into history lessons

More of a role than lgbt activism currently has. Gender ideology is pushed in Irish education

All schools should be educate together schools, teaching children the beliefs of different faiths and not being told that one religion holds the correct beliefs.

I think it’s important for each nation to educate children and on the religion of their nation and less so on the religions of others. We all need God in our lives whether we know it or not

It shouldn't as religion shouldn't be tied to education
