"Its usual purpose is to indoctrinate children...": I don't believe that statement coincides with the npov policy of wikipedia. -- Notheruser 03:38 Mar 13, 2003 (UTC)
another interesting thing to note is that some religions view the teaching of religion to children as morally wrong, as they are not old enough to understand or quesiton what they are taught. -- Tarquin 10:42 Mar 13, 2003 (UTC)
"Religions other than the state religion, even if ancient and respectable, are often deprecated in the national cultures (e.g. they are called "cults" in the news media). "
This sentence should be substantiated with examples, or made less broad ("there have been instances of..."). David.Monniaux 11:16, 21 Sep 2003 (UTC)
[edit] What about the UK, Ireland, Austalia...?
Some info on the situation in the UK and other English-speaking countries besides the US would be very nice, if anybody is knowledgable. -- 84.57.8.13 01:10, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Well, basically, because there's no such thing as the First Amendment, there are state-funded religious schools a plenty in the UK, the majority of which are Christian, and usually primary schools. There are private schools with religious affilations as well, though. --Christhebull 20:14, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Germany
Could someone who is familiar with the situation in Germany please try to add some clarity to that section? I've tried parsing the run-on sentence that begins that paragraph and don't understand it. Tverbeek
[edit] CCD
If anyone can expand the abbreviation CCD for me, I'd like to know what it means (I wasn't a Catholic, but many people I grew up with would get out of elementary school classes early to go to CCD classes). Is it Confraternity of Christian Doctrine? If so, that page should probably be updated with post-19th century information... —Mulad (talk) 18:59, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
