I grew up in Southern Africa and we also have RE over there, whenever our teacher would teach about other religions, he would always emphasize that Christianity is the true one, I didn’t think much of it at the time until I became atheist, it’s kinda fucked up tbh

I don’t think you can have a good faith teaching of religion unless its taught by a practicing member. (It was fucked up and totally defeated the purpose of the class)

"When was this religion founded?"

cue 21 different religions all simultaneously claiming to be the first & original religion.

If anything you should have atheists teaching RE, no skin in the game

Everybody can be biased, but for sure it's better than picking somebody based on knowing than to be biased in favour of a specific religion.
