Abstract
The social and political characteristics of religion influence the lesson of Religious Education in modern school and the functioning of the Religious Field, the conflicts within it and the efforts to control its content. However, in a pluralistic society, how important is the presence of a lesson of interreligious education on terms and criteria of school learning rather than religious inclusion? Can the school bring religion back into the public debate with the conditions of the functioning of a secular society, or the restoration of religion will be a return to the pre-modern situation? In this direction we considered it appropriate to investigate the perceptions of 540 students, mainly from the Theological and the Pedagogical Faculties, about the content of the lesson, their religious perceptions and the Greek society.
