Schools Now Teaching THIS In Order To Make Christianity Go Away In A Generation Recently, Lawrence M. Krauss, cosmologist and theoretical physicist, made the claim that religion could be largely removed or eradicated from society in a single generation. Krauss also believes that children should only be taught about faith in schools one way, and that religious systems should not treat students as if theyre all scared. Instead, he argued for a religion course based in critical thinking. What we need to do is present comparative religion as a bunch of interesting historical anecdotes and show the silly reasons why they each did what they did, Krauss told the audience at a Victorian Skeptics Caf in Australia. Instead of shying away from it, we have to explicitly educate people to confront their own misconceptions. Krauss went on to cite gay marriage and slavery as examples that back his claim that religion could be eliminated in one generation. People say, Well, religion has been around since the dawn of man. Youll never change that, Krauss told his audience. This issue of gay marriage, it is going to go away, because if youre a child, a 13-year-old, they cant understand what the issue is. Its gone. One generation is all it takes. Change is always one generation away. So if we can plant the seeds of doubt in our children, religion will go away in a generation, or at least largely go awayand thats what I think we have an obligation to do. What do you think of Krauss claims? Would you want your child being taught doubt?
