It's important to have belief

I would say no but it is good to have belief.

I think it is important to believe in God and have a religion because you won't get bullied.

I think it is important to have a religion because you will have something to believe in.

I have a religion myself but if people don't want to have a religion they should have a choice

I think it doesn't matter whether you have a religion or not because you can believe anything you want to believe and that should be accepted.

Yes and no. Yes because it is important to learn about religion and no because you can live with out it

We need beliefs and some people believe in different gods. Also, it is interesting to learn a new religion occasionally.

We all need a religion because, without them, we will be living in a world where some people do this particular ritual and others do it differently.

I think if you want to believe in some sort of religion, nothing is stopping you if you think that is what's important.

I think it is important to have a religion because other people can express their opinions and have debates about their beliefs. Also I like RPE lessons, and I think its cool to learn about other peoples religions and beliefs, like Muslim, Christianity and Islam.

I im not really sure cuase im kind of a catholic

No, as you should have the choice of whether you want to believe something, no one should be forced into thinking anything and people should be able to not have any religion, whith no pressure from anyone else

I don't think it is important to have a religion as people don't have to follow something , they have the freedom to do whatever they want ,so they can.

no we should in humanity focus on values.

If you believe strongly about something, nobody should stop your belief.
However, nobody should feel pressured to have or not to have a faith.

No, but you should still respect people who do

I agree with elk10

I do not think you would need a religion because Gods are only real in your mind.

It’s important to have a religion personally but in schools, I don’t think so because some people might be from different countries who believes in other religions different from a Catholic or Christian school and it might be kind of offensive to those who have different religions.

I believe that having a religion is good although if you disagree to having a religion you shouldn't be persuaded. Teaching religion is the right thing to do but without persuading somebody to keep/have a religion

it doesn't matter what people believe in.

it is very important to have a religion

Believe in yourself, you family and friends, not some imaginary thing.

Some people feel comfort in having a belief however its not important to some people. But you shouldn't be mean to people about what they do or don't believe in.

It isn't important to have a religion because they get in the way of everyday things and with most/all religions they have a day of rest where you can't do useful things which help like turn on a light or drive a car. Religions can also cause wars when some people believe other things although there is nothing wrong in believing in a god.

Nobody needs to have a religion, it’s just what people believe and think.

Personally I don’t believe its important to follow a religion myself, but its good to know about other peoples views on religion

I think people should have right to be religious or not but schools should teach about all religions as well as as their own (if they have one)

It gives you a good feeling. If you are feeling down then there will be someone who may help

What is the point of religions. There is no god in the sky and no heaven after death

people should have their choice

I think sometimes it is important to have religion. If you are feeling sad you can ask your God to help you

I think you can have a religion if you want, but you don't have to.

I am mostly atheist, but a bit agnostic.

Atheist=you don't believe. < me
Agnostic=not sure. < me?
Theist=do believe.

Yes, because it is important to believe, even though the nicest person you know may not be religious.

@aeroplane
Do people really get bullied just because they dont have a belief?

@swace
Being a muslim and following the religion of Islam are the same thing.

Well, i think that having a religion just depends on the person. i have a religion, and religion is something that isnt made up, unless you believe it is. i believe that there is a God and that some people need to respect that religion is so important, that when you tell them rude stuff like religion is pointless, then i have something really big to tell you: YOUR STUPID
just saying that would make you actually sound dumb because like i respect if thats how u feel, but it means that ur not open minded into thinking that if perhaps you followed a religion then maybe you would understand. so to those people who are saying that, please watch your mouth cos its kinda annoying and disrupting and rude and actually seriously makes me think that there is no brain living inside your heads

It is a good idea but you don't have to

I put no but I now think yes!! I think that you need to have some sort of religion of where you go when you die, and of gods if you think there are gods

No. Some people take comfort from their religion but others don't have one. I agree that the name R.E. should be changed to "religion and worldviews" because there are lots of different beliefs across the world that wouldn't be classified as a religion.

I do not think so because some people ( like one of my teachers) do not think any of the religions fit them . Some people just don’t think they want a religion and it’s their choice!Others just do not believe in any of the things from any religion

You should be allowed to do what you want and choose who you want to be.

I think the persons comment above minis totally correct!!!(uniquepika)

If you want a religion you can have one but if you choose not to believe in any religion (like me) thats fine. I voted NO...

It is Important to all be diferantt

No. People should always choose what THEY would like.

Prongsll I understand. You feel strongly about this.

because if you are a Christian like me you got to support your leader god . y a y .

If I'm honest with you i don't think it is

I don't want to offend anyone who follows a religion, but some people don't believe in one and no-one should have to if they don't want to. I think that everyone can believe in what they want to and people shouldn't be judged by their beliefs

I think that you as a person with human rights and free will should have the right to pick. There is no such evidence saying it's true nor is there such evidence saying that it's not . As well as that if you go to a school that believe in god you should be focusing on god the most just like if there were a school with any other religion I would say the same. If I were an adult I wouldn't want to send my children to a school when they are taught about the religion not being true when you are trying to encourage them to believe in it

brownie12: I completely agree

I think it is important but people should have a choice

It is important to have a belief but not everyone has to have one. : ) ; )

I agree with brownie12 and RoseBun. : ) ; )

It is important to be able to think you belong to something.

I don't and any way no one should be pressured into having on either

people should have their own choice and not be criticized for it

i think it is important to have a religion because it gives peaple hope and something to belive in

Depends... At school we learn all these different beliefs and they all lead to the same conclusion. Everyone is different.

I don’t think it is important to have a religion because at church schools (although they are paid by the church to teach religion) people are under too much pressure to be religious, I would like, to learn more about the theory of evolution and the Big Bang etc. and maybe learn more of different religions

I personally am Athiest so I support people not having to have a religion but many of my friends and family are religious so I don't believe people have to do anything ; people can believe and follow whatever religion ( or no religion ) without being told what to believe or think. I also love RPE and I think people should definitely learn about other people's beliefs and not just their own.

as you can probably see from my username, i am a christian and i know that at some schools they don't even have a religious lesson, r.e., i think it is important to have something you can believe in if you are down.

No!

you don't have to if you don't want to, people should make their own choices

It doesn’t matter what you believe in.

religions are interesting but why do we have to learn about them if we don’t need to.

I’d rather do geography my school rarely did it. (I’m talking once ore twice a year). ):

you need a religion - everyone needs some rules to follow!

i do not think it is important to have a religion however people should definitely learn about different religions because for some people religion is really important

Yes. I'm a Traditional Catholic myself and I think it's very important.
