gollark: Well, that's not true.
gollark: It lead to a bit of a lack of neutrality.
gollark: We had religion lessons at school, which were mostly just "read the wikipedia page and/or random internet resources for this religion and make a PowerPoint presentation" but one year we were doing Christianity, taught by someone who... was a Christian, which was kind of problematic.
gollark: Much better than religion lessons, which were somewhat uncool.
gollark: We did something like six philosophy lessons last school year for some reason. It was pretty neat, actually.
