In strictly secular countries, where confessional religious education (which main aim is to produce religious commitment to one particular faith) is legally forbidden in public schools (as, for example, in France, Slovenia and in the USA), only teaching about religions - which is a form of non-confessional religious education - is possible. Teaching about religions can be taught as a specific school subject or as an integral part of other regular subjects such as history, ethics, philosophy, arts, civic education, etc. The integration of content about religions in these regular school subjects is more or less present in all countries, while teaching about religions as a particular subject exists only in some countries. One of them is Slovenia, where the subject is called "Religions and Ethics". Its main aims are to give students an opportunity to further expand and develop their basic knowledge of the world religions and ethics, which they obtain in other school subjects and in this way to help them understand the importance and meaning of religious and ethical issues; to stimulate and prepare them for tolerant and respectful discussion of religious and ethical questions; to develop the capacity to understand others in their otherness; to prepare students for a life in a pluralistic society; to be critical of the negative phenomena which may be rooted in religions; and to help them develop their own religious or nonreligious philosophy of life. Since the aim of teaching about religions is not to produce religious commitment to one particular faith and also because it respects the rights of parents, children and teachers to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, it seems that teaching about religions can be acceptable for everyone regardless of their religious or philosophical convictions and it can be applicable to different national school systems and traditionsKoncept in termin "religijski pouk" sta običajno razumljena na dva načina: prvič, kot "denominacijski religijski pouk", katerega drugo ime je tudi "konfesionalni religijski pouk" ali "verouk", in drugič, kot "ne-denominacijski ali ne-konfesionalni religijski pouk". V striktno sekularnih državah, v katerih je konfesionalni religijski pouk (katerega glavni cilj je vzgoja za določeno religijo ali veroizpoved), v javnih šolah zakonsko prepovedan (npr. v Franciji, Sloveniji in ZDA), je možen le pouk o religijah, ki je oblika ne-konfesionalnega religijskega pouka. Pouk o religijah se lahko izvaja kot poseben šolski predmet ali pa kot integralni del obveznih predmetov, kot so zgodovina, etika, filozofija, umetnost, državljanska vzgoja itd. Integracija učnih vsebin o religijah v te obvezne učne predmete je bolj ali manj prisotna v vseh državah, medtem ko imajo pouk o religijah kot poseben predmet le v nekaterih državah. Ena izmed njih je tudi Slovenija, kjer se ta predmet imenuje "Verstva in etika". Glavni cilji tega predmeta so: ponuditi učencem možnost, da razširijo in poglobijo svoje znanje o svetovnih religijah in etiki, ki ga pridobijo pri drugih predmetih, in jim na tak način pomagati razumeti pomembnost in pomen religijske in etične problematike; jih spodbujati in pripraviti za strpno in spoštljivo razpravo o religijskih in etičnih vprašanjih; razviti njihovo zmožnost razumeti druge v njihovi drugosti; pripraviti učence za življenje v pluralistični družbi; biti kritičen do negativnih pojavov, katerih izvor so lahko religije; in jim pomagati razviti lastno religiozno ali nereligiozno filozofijo življenja. Ker glavni cilj pouka o religijah ni vzgoja za določeno religijo in tudi zato, ker spoštuje pravice staršev, otrok in učiteljev do svobode misli, vesti in veroizpovedi, se zdi, da je pouk o religijah lahko sprejemljiv za vsakogar,ne glede na njegova ali njena verska ali filozofska prepričanja, prav tako pa tudi za različne nacionalne šolske sisteme in tradicijeTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovensko društvo raziskovalcev šolskega polja
