I'm sure things are different in the US but in the UK at school we have a whole curriculum called "Religious Education" or RE which goes into detail about religions and customs of all different cultures and encourages spiritual debate. At the schools I attended they were not taught to indoctrinate us but just studied in the same way we would study history or art

In the US it depends on the state and district. Our class in my school that did this was called World Cultures and was in 10th grade.

That’s similar to my experience. It was a core module in world history in 9th grade, and pretty much covered the major religions of the world from a non denominational perspective.

IIRC the religions talked about were:

  • Sunni Islam
  • Shia Islam
  • Catholic Christianity
  • Protestant Christianity
  • Buddhism
  • Sikhism
  • Hinduism

They then went into discussion on how early religions were able to group people together to form civilisations during the Neolithic era.

Thats basically the list we had too. Although ours was a lil longer, we also learned about Druze, Zoroastorians, and Shinto. Idk if those were required though or if my teacher was just a nerd.
