Title
Taking Account of Religious Diversity: A Case Study of Quebec's Ethics and Religious Culture Program
Abstract
Modern liberal democratic nation states are faced with new challenges to their ability to sustain a collective identity among citizens from increasingly diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds. The author examines questions about the most appropriate ways to take account of religion in a pluralist society, specifically as it relates to the education of young citizens in Canadian public schools. She uses the "Ethics and Religious Culture" program adopted in Quebec schools, examined through the lenses of a multicultural education model and a model of deep equality, to highlight the place of the study of religion in elementary and secondary education.
