even mention in the academic environment. Not addressing the problem

at hand does not simply solve the problem; it in fact create a larger issue.

Silence does not equal resolution. Religion is a highly personal belief and

therefore, should not be forced upon anyone else. This is where the

education system and religion seem to clash. Religion differs person to

person. Depending on who is being interviewed at the time will depend on

the idea of religion that will be presented. “There should be collaboration

and coordination between different sectors of organizations including the

department of education to teach religious authorities, traffic directorates,

and preachers in order to facilitate emphasis on subjects associated with

social, economic, psychological, and spiritual factors to consider when view

how our culture affects religion in the academic environment.

Considering the previous cultural aspects of religion, the natural transition

would then be to look at how people use religion. “Religious education is a

human specific

of some principles and

same time, supported by love, trust, and freedom” (Ene). People use

religion as a guide to their everyday lives and

interactions. Many view religions as a tool for an organized human

society, which can be both positive and negative. This is important to

question

religions around the

Culture and religion make

aspects gives and understanding to

their actions. This point in tie in the

world, understanding of religion should be necessary in schools. Individuals

find their inspirations from, their religions. These

inspirations can either be

positive or negative as well as being in the extremist nature. These

aspects of religion are important to pass onto students because they are

seeing the news and hearing their parents discuss world events. They

are already forming their own ideals on the subject matter so it's best to

fellow peers. Our educational system is not just white Christian children. It

is filled with many other races and religious beliefs and therefore should be

advanced to better cater to these children without alienating one group.

With religion being taught in school, students should be encouraged to

read information presented to them, think about what they read

deeply, and analyze the information carefully. “Scientists have explored

three mechanisms to account for the positive association between religion

understanding of other religions and only see a person with a different

religion from our own then, we lose our ability to comprehend the

motivations behind the actions of other people beyond our system of

beliefs. Studying the varying religions of the world and the traditions that

follow make it clear that different people exist under different religious

assumptions. If educators can help students understand the motivation

behind differing religions, then they will help the student to understand the

action that came from it. Students are aware of the world issues weather

educators choose to believe this or not. The responsibility falls to them to

help impart the tools necessary for students to fully understand the world

been exposed to as well as the daily world news leads people into a sense

of fear of religions that are not their own. This

leads to a vicious cycle of

fear which translates into religious intolerance. This religious intolerance

leads to the eventual perpetuation of religious based hate

crimes. Bullying has become an epidemic in our school systems. Bullying

can take many forms and more now than ever, we are seeing bullying at

and religion cannot interfere with state. The mix of government and

religion today leads to preventable complications. Society is focused on

not hurting the feelings of or making anyone feel alienated. By trying not

to alienate any student; they have essentially alienated all of them.

Religion is closely related to the moral compass that people possess. “It

was showed

that those who go to church more often are more likely to do

volunteer work as the divine love to help others” (Baloch). A better

understanding of one's own religion as

well as others that exist help to

deepen the respect one can possess. Furthering the development of a

more comprehensive moral compass. The sharp lack of religion in

schools

is linked to a declining morality of society. Aristotle said it well, “Moral virtue

they come to make. The key to blending education and religion is the

unbiased delivery of the teaching. If religion is taught with personal bias,
