Sarkozy Wants French Schools To Teach About World's Religions

France's President Nicolas Sarkozy in a speech today said that there is a place for discussion of religion in French public schools, even though the country's Enlightenment values and secularism were critical to prevent religious confrontation . Christian Today quoted Sarkozy, who said: "The origins of the great religions, their visions of mankind and the world should be studied ... (in the spirit) of a sociological, cultural, historical analysis which would allow a better understanding of the fact of religion."
