Immigration: Comparative Religion

Mandatory Course Dept: Christianity? Judaism? Islam? Buddhism? Hinduism? All five are represented inside the bilingual MRM, situated in the town of Nicolet, midway between Montreal and Quebec City, according to Montreal Gazette. The MRM was created in 1986, which predates today's debate over reasonable accommodation and the legal battles over the government's right to impose a new mandatory course in comparative religion in the Quebec school system and at the Musee des religions du monde, Canada's only museum of comparative religion, curator Jean-Francois Royal says one of the most frequently asked questions by visitors is: "Which is the best religion?" Until a couple of generations ago, "Which is the best religion?" is a question that would have been unthinkable in Quebec. Roman Catholicism dominated public and private life. Today, with a new secular fundamentalism taking hold in the province, religion is more and more being seen, along with immigration, as a troublesome sideshow. As reported in the news.
