Closed Remove religion as a mandatory subject from school and replace with life skills.

Closed on

Whether you believe in religion or not, you have to agree that time is better spent with teachers instructing students on how to do things like first aid, and pay their mortgages. Most lessons are already a waste of time, but let's start with the worst one and replace it with something useful
