 RE is a vital subject for our schools if we are to produce a tolerant and caring society. It is significantly through their RE lessons in schools that children become aware of the diverse nature of multi faith Britain. Without RE, far too many negative stereotypes and unthinking prejudices would exist as a result of ignorance. RE enables children to understand why communities and individuals may dress, practise and believe differently to themselves. Without RE being taught in schools, social harmony and community cohesion would be virtually unachievable.
