religious education
(redirected from Denominational school)

religious education

The formal teaching of religion in schools.

In the USA, religious education is prohibited in public (state-maintained) schools because of the separation of church and state guaranteed under the First Amendment to the Constitution; however, the study of comparative religion is permitted, since it is theoretical and secular information, not sacred matter. Private parochial schools offer both state-approved courses and religious instruction.
