The purpose of this study was to gain a greater understanding of how the teaching of religions in schools look like and to get an understanding of how teachers integrate religious beliefs in their teaching. The investigation has taken place at two schools, one school of private ownership with confessional orientation and on an other public school with non-confessional orientation. I have been observing lessons in religion and interviewed teachers at each school to compare and see similarities in teaching.

The results of the survey show no major differences in religious teaching approach. Both schools have lectern teaching and teach all the major world religions objectively. The big difference is that the confessional Muslim-oriented school offers the students more space to learn and study Islam by adding an extra class of Coran teaching, and a customized environment that help and encourage students to become practicing Muslims.
