I find RE lessons interesting because we get to find out about other people's
beliefs and their religion and you learn something new.
Response 4 Age:11 Gender:F Belief:Atheist (15684)
I like the fact that you can be whoever you want to be and that you don't have
to hide that. My RE lessons are great!
Response 5 Age:11 Gender:F Belief:Atheist (16589)
I enjoy RE Because I have the chance to express my views on life especially
since I am an Atheist.
Response 6 Age:11 Gender:F Belief:Atheist (16902)
I like that you have the chance to understand other people's point of view
about the world, and I have learnt that whatever other people think and
believe they are no different to myself.
Response 7 Age:12 Gender:F Belief:Atheist (1948)
RE is mind-opening.
Response 8 Age:12 Gender:F Belief:Atheist (3560)
I like the philosophical and more personal / people side of RE (We call it RS at
our school). I've learned so much in the past year and a half at my new
secondary school, and if I listed it here, you'd never hear the end of it. I don't
like to divulge this kind of stuff. You guys are hitting into private stuff here!!
Response 36 Age:13 Gender:F Belief:Atheist (1126)
I like RE because it helps me find out about other cultures and religions. I have
also found out about how other people live, and what they do in their religion.
I have also learned to be happy with what I've got, because there are a lot
more people in the world less fortunate than me.

Response 105 Age:14 Gender:M Belief:Atheist (6990)
Out of RE I have got the chance to learn about new religions and it has helped
me learn about others around me. I particularly like the fact that we do
projects on something where the class splits into groups of about four. Each is
given a topic to research and then two or so lessons on show the other pupils
what we've learned.
Response 122 Age:15 Gender:F Belief:Atheist (1482)
I love learning about all different kinds of religous beliefs and customs and
gods. In RE I have often had to think about my own beliefs on certain subjects,
and I think it's been good for me to have to think about what I believe.
Response 123 Age:15 Gender:F Belief:Atheist (3576)
From my RE lessons I have certainly started to think more deeply about my
beliefs and to understand that people have their beliefs too and are entitled to
those beliefs, and just because you may not believe in them doesn't mean to
say they aren't true.
Response 194 Age:11 Gender:F Belief:Christian (8408)
I enjoy RE lessons when it's about what people do because of what they
believe.
Response 195 Age:11 Gender:F Belief:Christian (8400)

achievement and I think - wow I did that!!!
Response 198 Age:11 Gender:F Belief:Christian (8765)
I have learnt a lot about religions and their ways of doing things similar to my

they think of you and your religion.
Response 199 Age:11 Gender:F Belief:Christian (8828)
I like being able to say what I think.
Response 200 Age:11 Gender:F Belief:Christian (8854)
Out of RE lessons I have been able to look into other people's lives and to find
out quite alot about them. I have learnt huge amounts of information about
other people's visions for diferent things. I like RE because it is an opportunity
to express your ideas and to look into things that you may not in another type
of lesson!
Response 233 Age:11 Gender:M Belief:Christian (14835)
In my RE lessons I have learnt about differnt religions and their beliefs. I have
learnt the simalarities and differences in differnt religons. I have learnt how
they live, what food they eat, when they pray, where they pray, why they
pray, when they have days where they can't eat certain things, why they eat
like that and if they worship one or more gods, and I have also learnt their
names. I enjoy everything in my RE lessons.

I like most of my RE lessons because they underline the important things in life
and choose to show them through different perspectives and religions. They
teach me about how different I am from others. My veiw of live is still very
blurry but one thing I know is that everyone has it in the to do what they
believe is right and that one day we will all live in peace without hatred.
Response 436 Age:13 Gender:F Belief:Christian (6051)
I think RE rocks because we can see what other people think. It's madness
that the teachers can't tell us what they think. I think school children should be
able to explore their thoughts more - to get down to the basics - do you
believe in God or not? Why or why not? This would make it more interesting
and we would learn more about each other and God.
Response 437 Age:13 Gender:F Belief:Christian (6235)
I like RE because everyone gets a say about their religion, even though I think
there should be only one. BE ONE

I am a Christian so I can't say it made me become Christian but it did help and

I love RE, because it is a chance to share your thoughts and views of important
religious issues and topics with the rest of your class. I think it is an important
lesson that teaches you about ways of life and equality in the world. It is a
very deep and peaceful subject.
Response 625 Age:14 Gender:F Belief:Christian (16652)
I have leanrt more in my RS lessons about different religions I hadn't heard of

our history and how politically religion will be very important.

In RE we are allowed to discuss what we feel and what we believe. I like the
fact that we can learn about other people's beliefs. This makes me realize that
others are looking for answers, just like me. RE lets me talk about the inside
bits, the spiritual, and things that we don't normally mention like death and
afterlife.
Response 672 Age:16 Gender:F Belief:Christian (12285)
RE opens my mind. It helps me to be aware of other religions and how they

Response 675 Age:17 Gender:M Belief:Christian (830)
RE has given me a wider view of the world. I have always lived in foreign
countries but never really understood their cultures as well as I do now. It has
really opened my eyes and helped me to view things from many different
aspects.
Response 697 Age:13 Gender:F Belief:Hindu (2895)
I can say my opinions without people answering me back and telling me I am

I like RE because our teacher makes us think really deeply in our topic and I
like discussing it and listening to others!
Response 699 Age:13 Gender:F Belief:Hindu (4782)
RS is one of my favourite subjects and the reason for that is that most of the
time in lessons, we discuss issues that make me look inside myself and think
very deeply about the world, behaviour, my personality, my beliefs. I have
learnt not only the facts about differnt religions but I have learnt a lot about
myself.
Response 709 Age:15 Gender:F Belief:Hindu (881)
I think religion is the essence of a person's life so its good to know about
everyone' religion. I believe in my religion a lot and rely on it as a backbone to
my life and problems and depend on answers from it. So it interests me on
how other religions answer to everyday problems and what views and reasons
they have for their beliefs.
Response 710 Age:15 Gender:M Belief:Hindu (985)
A wider perspective of views of other religions which leads me to believe that
all religions have areas in them which I agree with and am interested in.
Response 711 Age:15 Gender:F Belief:Hindu (1387)
I like the fact that we can learn about different views especially that of
different religions such as Christianity, Hinduism, Islam etc.
Response 731 Age:11 Gender:M Belief:Muslim (17904)
In my RE lessons I have learnt that all religions believe something different
and have something in common. I have also learnt that life is what you make
it and it is right to follow your own religion that your parents chose for you at
birth. I like RE because it is interesting to learn about other religions as well as
knowing what are their beliefs. It is also great because it teaches you the
values of life.
Response 732 Age:11 Gender:F Belief:Muslim (17940)
We have RE so we can learn about other people's religon, not only ours. I like

traditions.
Response 734 Age:11 Gender:M Belief:Muslim (18049)
I have got a lot out of my RE lessons such as the creation stories from
different religions, what each religion believes in, the most popular religions
and what each religion follows. I really like RE for the sole fact that you can
speak your mind and say what you believe in. This helps show your personality
and who you are. To me that is brilliant.
Response 802 Age:14 Gender:F Belief:Muslim (11258)
Something I have got out from my RE lesson is that we should be grateful for
what we have as some people don't have some of these things. It has also
helped me learn a lot of stuff about my religion and other religions. From my
religion it has taught me to do a lot about doing good deeds as it will either
take us to heaven or hell. The thing I like about RE is that it helps in the future
and helps teach a lot aboutour religion.
Response 803 Age:14 Gender:F Belief:Muslim (11332)
RE is the best because it lets your mind wander. There are no stated facts. You
get to think and form your own opinions. there are no walls. you are free.
Response 812 Age:15 Gender:F Belief:Muslim (935)
The best thing about RE lessons is that you learn the science part and you
learn things about life and why people are different to others. RS lesson is like
watching the news, only not boring. it is very interesting how people have
different views to others. Our RS teacher is the best RS teacher.
Response 813 Age:15 Gender:F Belief:Muslim (945)
What I think about RE lesson is that I think it's very interesting and enjoy it a

embarrassed with her and also she is always smiling.

enjoy it.

Response 855 Age:12 Gender:F Belief:Protestant (12005)
My favourite thing about RE is that I am able to express myself in a confident
way. My teacher never laughs and always agrees because some of my past
teachers have only wanted what they believe to be taught.
Response 897 Age:13 Gender:F Belief:Protestant (8134)
It's one of the few subjects where you get to talk about your opinions, and
fight back in what you believe in, to try and prove everyone else wrong!
Response 898 Age:13 Gender:F Belief:Protestant (8164)
In my RE lessons I have learnt not to just listen to people with the same
opinion as me and to listen to everyone. Just because someone doesn't believe
in the exact same thing or a similar thing to me doesn't mean that they aren't
right. Everyone does and can believe in anything that they want to believe in.
That's what I like about my RE lessons.
Response 899 Age:13 Gender:F Belief:Protestant (8186)
I have learnt about different ways of thinking, but I must be frank - I haven't

Response 938 Age:15 Gender:F Belief:Protestant (3629)
My RE lessons at the moment are concerning morality. I like this because it
involves me a bit more whilst also learning about how other religions and
cultures would deals with situations. The downside to this is I have to really
think about what I'm doing.
Response 939 Age:15 Gender:F Belief:Protestant (3633)
RE lessons for me are more like life lessons, so I enjoy them when it comes to
them because you can think back to situations that you've been in and see
where you or someone else may have gone wrong. It also good that you can
learn about other religions and respect them and not discriminate against
them.
