This document discusses religious understanding and education. It notes that there are problems with religion in schools regarding teaching religion versus teaching about religion. The issue of religious understanding is important given the large amount of religious tension worldwide that has increased religious violence and restriction by governments. To help address this issue, the document suggests asking local school boards to incorporate religious studies classes, taking time to understand other religions, and increasing teachers qualified to educate about world religions. The document concludes that misinformation causes international relations problems and the largest fear comes from religious misunderstandings, so education about all religions is critical to improve communication globally.
