I still feel I know very little having been teaching RE for six years. <br /><br />I see religious literacy as more like the language rules in English. I think it must be about understanding the role, place and experience of being religious and fostering respect for religious faith. <br /><br />For example, if student A knows a huge amount about religion, meets someone from a faith they have not studied and dismisses it, has no interest or empathy I would say they are not religiously literate. <br /><br />If student B with very little religious knowledge meets someone from a faith they no nothing about, is curious, respectful, shows empathy and is interested enough to google it I would say they are more religiously literate.
