Rowan Williams will warn against "downgrading" religious education in secondary schools in his last Easter sermon as Archbishop of Canterbury.
Younger people take religion seriously "when they have the chance to learn about it," he is expected to say.
In his Easter sermon, Britain's most senior Roman Catholic, Cardinal Keith O'Brien, is urge Christians to wear a cross to symbolise their beliefs.
It comes amid a growing debate about secularisation in British society.
During the service in Canterbury Cathedral, the Archbishop will say it is the wrong time to "downgrade the status and professional excellence" of religious education in schools.
RE is not one of the subjects counting towards the English Baccalaureate, the standard for ranking schools brought in by the coalition government.
