In 2008, the Québec Ministry of Education introduced the Ethics and Religious Culture (ERC) program. Though the ERC is a positive step forward in promoting and fostering much-needed religious literacy skills, the implications of a “neutral” professional posture asked of its teachers have been difficult to translate into the classroom. Neutrality is seen to infringe on a teacher’s sense of autonomy and authenticity. This article traces the concept of neutrality in Québec back to the state policies, showing that neutral pedagogy contradicts the ethics of religious sensitivity and religious literacy that Québec is seemingly promoting. It concludes by offering a more balanced approach to the teaching of religion in the classroom.

This article deals with Catholic religious education in Italian State schools from a political-sociology perspective. The ‘hour of religion’ works as an arrangement, not limited to classrooms, that involves practices of control across State schools and ecclesiastic administrative bodies. The school’s management of this arrangement leads to practical negotiations between teachers and personnel, related to its legitimization as a subject of ‘religious culture’. However, bureaucratic rationalization also occurs in Church dioceses, through the management of human resources and periodic checks of teachers’ ‘proofs’ of faith. Catholic religious education appears then as a case study of the informal, hybrid regulation of religion in the ‘grey areas’ of State institutions.
