Religious Education: The study and exploration of religious beliefs, practices, and experiences with the purpose of fostering understanding, respect, and appreciation for religious diversity.

Religious education may also involve personal reflection, spiritual growth, and moral development, as well as the cultivation of a sense of identity and belonging within a religious community or tradition. It can take place in formal educational settings such as schools, universities, and seminaries, as well as in informal settings such as religious institutions, communities, and families.
