It has been argued in different contexts that the concept of world view better suits the aims of education than that of religion. A plea has been made in the Netherlands that the term “world view” should replace “religion” (Miedema 2018) when focusing on the aims of education in schools. In a similar way, the Commission on Religious Education (hereafter referred to as CoRE 2018) in Britain has brought forward the idea that religious education in state-funded schools should be renamed “Religion and Worldviews” (2018). It has also been suggested that “world view” is a useful generic term in intercultural education. In Signposts—policy and practice for teaching about religions and non-religious world views in intercultural education, the term “world view” is presented as “potentially workable for covering both religious ways of life and non-religious convictions” (Jackson 2014, 75). |
