Non-religious and secularists parents may do so because they do not want religion to 'brainwash' their children. In the West, most RE instructors are openly Christian, and religion is presented largely without criticism, with an emphasis on festivals, calendar dates, and all foundational myths being discussed as truth. Religion adherents also keep their children out of RE courses because they don't want them to be "corrupted" by opposing religions' teachings. </span></span></span></p>
