What would happen if a person happened to have a religion that didn't allow education (just for some reason)
And this person lived in a country that legally forced people to receive educations.
And the same country also offered full religious freedom...
HOW WOULD THAT WORK?!?

They wouldn't allow religious freedom. They would have to allow parents to take children out of school for religious purposes. Also, that sounds like a shitty religion if it makes people uneducated.

It is something of a predicament on the surface.
But in a lot of places, you can use religious/spiritual beliefs to get yourself out of nearly anything as long as you're not legally obligated to do so.

Even then - there's still countries that allow it.
For example - Israel, like many countries in the Middle East, requires all citizens to serve a minimum of 2 years in the military.
However, if you are so deeply religious that Ascetics think you need to lighten up, you're exempt from service

What would happen if a person happened to have a religion that didn't allow education (just for some reason) They already have that, it's called Christianity. (Well, technically, they just disregard it and tell you that it's lies...not all, but some) Like the U.S. Mmhmm. Take a look at how it already works. Schools give Christians an education about evolution, science, and history, and then their church (and religion), tells them it's wrong. |

No. Certain sects of Christianity say that education is wrong.
Remember, not all branches of Christianity are the same - that's be like saying that all sodas taste the same.
I mean, seriously - The Catholic Church (you know: the hard core one) accepts evolution as a valid theory, and outright states that the story of creation is utter nonsense

And the same country also offered full religious freedom... HOW WOULD THAT WORK?!? A part of my family are Jehovah's witnesses. I'm all for every single religion in the world except for that one. They're completely crazy. They only allow children to complete their primary education, and then they have to drop out of school and start preaching. They do not get to go to college, heck, not even junior high. Also, they refuse to do their military service. Also, they don't allow for surgeries. My cousin was born with a mild disability, but even though my father offered them help to get him cured, they refused it because "that's what Jehovah wants for him". I don't care if you're muslim, christian or whatever, but a religion that imposes such limitations upon its followers, is completely crap. Oh, BTW, the leader of that religion is absurdly rich. |

I've told myself I won't get in religious debates. It's too much nonsense for me
