Religious Education refers to the systematic teaching and study of the principles, doctrines, and practices of a particular faith or religion such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, etc. This includes the study of religious texts like the Torah, the Bible, or the Quran, and other related religious literature. It encompasses a wide range of topics including ethics, theology, spirituality, and historical contexts. It is often covered in formal education settings, but can also be studied independently or in religious institutions. It aims to foster an understanding and appreciation of one's own religion, as well as respect for the beliefs and values of others.
