Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast how Religious Studies were taught in the past with how they are taught today. First, we will define what we mean by the term “past”, by referring to the period when the actual teaching of religious studies began. We will also put emphasis on the actual essence of the specific lesson and search for any possibilities to make it more modern and up to date; a comparison with other European countries will also guide us towards this new direction. Finally, we will examine the practical part of teaching Religious Studies through all teaching models in all classes of Primary school.
