Religion is something we are born into and little thought, if any, is given to other religious faiths until we are much older. I believe that compulsory and unbiased religious history should be a subject at school level (would that this were possible around the world). Hopefully this would lead to greater understanding and acceptance of other faiths and a freedom from religious fanaticism and bias. I thank the authors for their considerable effort in putting this course together.
