When I asked him if RE was still relevant if he was to stay in England, his response was \u201cYes, because it means, if they come over here, you can make them feel like they\u2019re at home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As \u201cworld religions\u201d are presented as un-diverse, in some cases this led to pupils being unsure about their own religious identities.
