Mitchell, Travis. “7. How Religion May Affect Educational Attainment: Scholarly Theories and Historical Background.” Pew Research Center’s Religion & Public Life Project, Pew Research Center, 13 Dec. 2016, www.pewresearch.org/religion/2016/12/13/how-religion-may-affect-educational-attainment-scholarly-theories-and-historical-background/.

in this article, the author talks about the earlier age of religion and the early age of education, and how all different religions help religion improve and affect education. the author talks about how all the different religions help education improve in some kind of way. because the Islam religion helps to improve mathematics astronomy, philosophy, medicine, and poetry. the Islamic religion always thought they would learn more about the universe they would get closer to god and all the other religions were big friends of education the people who followed their religion to learn more and get an understanding of the universe.
I think this article talks about the idea of religion in the classroom we all want to see how the religion that wants us to learn more about the universe and learn about the things we don’t understand. and not the way it is being implemented in the school system in the present and to hate everything we don’t understand and the distrust of science and scientists. because a lot of scientists are going against the idea of a god being real and a lot of religious leaders hate that. but the idea that is being talked about in this article and how religion was being thought in the past and the way it helped education is something really like, the way being thought right now is something I really hate because they just want control but not helping people.  but it is not all the religion’s fault it is the people in power that are using religion who have been using religion as a weapon against their own people to kipe a lot of them down and to stop asking a lot of questions and to have somebody to blame like the devil.

“Early Muslims made innovative intellectual contributions in such fields as mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, medicine, and poetry. They established schools, often at mosques, known as katatib and madrasas.31″
