This article highlights new thinking on the role of religion in the classroom and offers four general guidelines for educators: (1) focus on studies about religion, not the practice of religion; (2) be academic, not devotional; (3) strive for student awareness of religions, but not press for student acceptance of any religion; (4) expose students to a diversity of religious views, but not impose any particular view.
