In my junior high, our religion class was entirely geared towards Christianity, only giving lip service to some other religions. To be fair, it was a Roman Catholic school at the time. In high school they offered a World religons course, but I wasn't interested. It wasn't until I entered university and discovered our wonderful Religious Studies program that I realised how wonderful and amazing religions can be.
I have a hard time understanding why people just don't want to learn everything they can about everything that's available to them. But I guess I'm biased because I'm so voracious in my learning. If I could do every degree that my university offered, I probably would. :p
