What do you think would happen if things were run like this:
There was no such thing as religious education for children, because society felt that one needed to have reached an age of reason before one could evaluate religious claims. Then in say the last year of high school, everyone got a year's course in comparative religions, reading the holy texts of the world's 5 or so leading religions, and learning the basics of another 5 or so, including of course atheism. How do you think this would affect religious beliefs or anything else?
