Abstract
In a previous article an attempt was made to justify the provision of religious education in this country's schools by two arguments: an educational argument and an argument based on the ideal of personal autonomy. This article reaffirms belief in the cogency of the educational argument and presents a strengthened version of it, but expresses reservations about the personal autonomy argument. In preference to the latter a third argument is now put foward based on the contribution religious education can make to the promotion of tolerance in today's multi‐ethnic society.
