Russ, I have a question thats to do with Religious Education.

I have recently turned 27, no significance here, but it helps to set that I was in senior school from 1987 to 1992.
We were made to study RE between 1st and 3rd year. Even if we had been muslim we would have had to learn all about christianity.....which seems wrong to me somehow, I dont remember learning about other religions, and I'll confess mostly RE was a chance to get my head down for a quick hours nap......or annoy the teacher by claiming I worshipped satan (well I was a known metalhead in the school lol)

But in this day in age, russ, do you think as a religious person that religion should be forcefully taught in schools, or do you think it would be better to offer it to those who want to choose it?
Either way it would teach about all religion.
