THE MODELS AND “PHILOSOPHY” OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION IN CONTEMPORARY EUROPE
The paper analyzes the problem of religious education in public schools as a very important aspect in the State-Church relations. The established State-Church relation model in a particular country influences the religious teaching model in the public school. The paper analyzes a relevant diversity of forms and typology of religious education in contemporary Europe: 1). Religious education is not seen as a separate subject; 2). The introduction of a confessional subject; 3). The introduction of a non-confessional subject.
The Conclusion summarizes the confessional type of religious education in the public school. It undergoes critical rethinking today in many European countries as a result of understanding and accepting the significance of spiritual and religious diversities.
