The REC RE Report – NSS says rename RE to 'Philosophy & Ethics'

NSS says:- [...] 'The whole subject [RE] should be completely rethought. A good start would be to abandon the implicit assumption that it is better to be religious than not, and call the subject Philosophy and Ethics [see NSS RE Briefing Paper]. Yet the RE Council [report] predictably dismisses this, it seems because it diminishes pupils' "understanding of the nature of religion in general". And the new subject should incorporate citizenship, a far better way of encouraging community cohesion than dwelling on the religious minutiae the divide us. 

Here are our suggestions.' 

The NSS suggests 'RE should be replaced with a new National Curriculum subject for all pupils. The newly devised study, under a different name, should cover a variety of religious, non-religious and secular worldviews.'
