You do have a point there. only taking the major once, while ignoring the once who are actively practiced close by, would open up for the kind of bias you just expressed.

I have a problem with only major religions being taught. I think it will give people the idea that individuals in less recognized religions are okay to make fun of or bully and that there's something wrong with them.
Plus, the Golden Rule can be taught without religion. 'Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.'
Maybe the minor once, that are local are at least as important.
We both have a set of local religions, we ignored, for far too long. Just like we're not alone on this matter. It's for too common, but we refuse to recognise it. Partly, because we're not told. Partly, bcause we do feel uncomfortable, listening. it's our own past, and now we're forced to reconsider what our parents, and kin did in the past.
The Golden rule, yeah. just need to have the entire rule, not just the half of it.
Besides, it could be seen as a larger package of wisdom?
