    Education is important for all citizens and the government invests heavily in public

    schooling, any factor that significantly promotes academic achievement is important


    to the common good. A growing body of research has consistently indicated that the
    frequency of religious practice is significantly and directly related to academic
    outcomes and educational attainment. Religiously involved students spend more
    time on their homework, work harder in school and achieve more as a result

    Religion increases the family’s human capital in many ways. For instance, religiously
    involved parents were more likely to plan successfully for the future and to
    structure their children’s activities in ways that increased their children’s likelihood
    of taking advanced math courses and graduating from high school .Another study
    showed that family cohesion, which religious practice increases, is associated with
    increased internal locus of control and academic competence among youth. Family
    cohesion also influenced the way youth dealt with problems.

    A parent who is “intergenerationally altruistic”—that is, cares about the welfare of


    the child—will participate in religious practice to build up the requisite amount of
    human capital necessary for a child to become “skilled” . Thus, the future of the
    child’s education and income are a positive incentive for parents to attend religious
    activities. Incentive is diminished only if the parent is convinced that the child has
    no possibility of becoming “skilled,” or if the child has no expressed desire to
    become “skilled.” Therefore, altruistic parents can and often will be religious, even
    if they have little intrinsically religious motivation to be so, in order to transfer the
    social capital benefits of religious practice to their children

    Religion and education, two of humankind’s most ancient endeavors, have long
    had a close relationship. Historians and social scientists have written about this
    relationship and about how the two may influence each other.

    just like education, religion plays a major role in the socialization process. For
    centuries, humankind has sought to understand and explain the “meaning of life.”
    Religion, in one form or another, has been found in all human societies since human
    societies first appeared. Archaeological digs have revealed ritual objects,
    ceremonial burial sites, and other religious artifacts.

    Religion can also serve as a filter for examining other issues in society and other components of
    a culture. For example, after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, it became important
    for teachers, church leaders, and the media to educate Americans about Islam to prevent
    stereotyping and to promote religious tolerance. Sociological tools and methods, such as
    surveys, polls, interviews, and analysis of historical data, can be applied to the study of religion
    in a culture to help us better understand the role religion plays in people’s lives and the way it
    influences society.

    religion, for the most part, is a positive subject that can provide students with moral
    and ethical ideas that will help to instill good values in them.

    it's important for children to have a broad awareness about religions. They believe that
    it will help them make an informed decision on the religion they would like to believe in
    and understand it, as opposed to only learning about religion at home. Many people
    who argue for religious education in school curriculums feel that they would have liked
    to have been offered an option as children about what to believe and to have been able
    to learn about the different religions that exist. The argument for children
    understanding about all religions is that they can have a more logical and well-rounded
    perspective on faith and religious beliefs so that they can choose to think and what
    they want to believe, for themselves, instead of it being something that they are taught
    as a fundamental fact by their parents.
