Episode 123: Case for Religious Education in Public Schools
From Religiosanity by Rutgers Presbyterian Church
January 9, 2025 · 43 min
About this episode
Pastor Andrew advocates for the inclusion of objective religious education in public schools to combat the rise of bad theology and extremism.
When well-meaning leaders, anxious to adhere to the separation of church and state, lean too far in to the “zero religious education” stance, instead of calling on academia to sift through standards and material and come up with a curriculum, we get the current situation we are in—a public at large more susceptible to bad theology at best and fundamentalism, fanaticism, and conspiracism at worst. Pastor Andrew makes the plea for cold, objective, religious eduction now.
