12 years of education and I know about 2 faiths, neither of which I beleive in and both are very similar.
I am now at college and have a friend taking religous studies at AS level, going onto the A level next year, and 90% of the work they will do on the course is on Christianity and Islam.
Why not teach about other faiths such as Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism etc, what makes Christianity and Islam more prominent in an evermore non-religous society?
If you do not believe in one of these faiths then finding information on others is left to you and when, in over 12 ( 14 if you carried on at college etc ) years they can only teach you about 2 faiths, well I think that is quite disgraceful.

Many churches provide sunday schools however it is not nearly as in-depth as the Madrasah ( I'm sorry if that isn't the correct name for when the islamic children get taught about their religion at the Mosque, or spelling, but I'm 99% sure it begins with Ma and the rest of the letters are half guesses..... at least I've tried
)
