Additional Information: This is not your normal religious studies class that seeks to learn the "truths" of the religion. Rather we look to see if there are any truths in the various religions. We ask such questions as does it teach acceptable morals; is it historical; why are the sacred texts given such esteem? If you would like to be put on an email distribution list and from time to time receive resource materials and reminders, send an email request to greg@kcfreethought.org.
