Schools inescapably need to engage with the phenomenon of religion in a competent way, since ideological and religious convictions are always already present in them. The social fact of religious pluralism is associated with an ineluctable requirement for education that schools have to accept. This volume is intended as a professionally well-founded and at the same time easily understandable contribution to a constructive approach to religion as a diverse and ambivalent phenomenon in schools. It provides a handbook for guidance with prospective strategies for action.
