Two Important Foundations for Religious Upbringing/Education for Coaching an Active Individual/Agent

Religious education is based on creating the psychological groundwork in the pupils. It appears that a major part of failures* are rooted in the lack of psychological foundation and using unsuitable methods for internalisation of religious values. The important question here is this: On the basis of which educational foundation in his or her life and which character trait can a human being lead a life based on his beliefs? The cultural world in our era is the world of numerous choices in which liberalism has imposed its foundational value, i.e. freedom, on human beings either explicitly and structurally* or implicitly. It can be said that people are not free in their search for freedom because they live their lives while [constantly] faced with the mammoth task of choosing from a plethora of choices.

The presence of a plurality of choices coupled with effective educational and psychological prejudgments based on individualism, perceived inappropriateness of the family intervention, and the lack of belief in such categories as good or bad prevents the transmission of ideas based on religious good* and happiness. Hence, it appears that for any religious and human education, we first need to create the foundation for religious and ethical education for which religious and ethical values will serve as the foundation of its edifice.

For this reason, we will explore two things which appear to be very important:

1.     Avoiding a life based on fun

2.     Focus on coaching/creating a person who has self-control.
