Since religion is a shaping force in the story of civilization, Core Knowledge introduces children in the early grades to major world religions. The focus is on geography, major symbols, and figures. The purpose is not to explore matters of theology, but to introduce basic vocabulary for understanding many events in history. The goal is to familiarize not proselytize.
