Why don't we hear more about abstinence-only religious education?

[Boojatta]

If a private school devotes much more attention than public schools to the study of religion, then that private school could encourage students to focus entirely on understanding and abstain from making a commitment to a particular religion until those students are mature adults.

In some countries, converting from pre-school confusion/indecision to student believer puts you at risk of eventual punishment for apostasy.

1. fun thought, but absurd and totally unrealistic

since the religious-based private schools are there to groom souls for later harvest.

2. They know that the vast majority of their captive audience would not buy into that message.

I have a different approach - if they are so anxious for Armageddon, why don't they skip the intermediate step and go right for heaven RIGHT NOW? It would save them (and us) a lot of grief and wasted time.
