| To help students how they can be open minded when they are teaching religion and how they can think in critical way. With this, students will become well educated and knowledgeable individuals who are able to criticise and evaluate all evidences before come to conclusion especially in religious topics. Critical thinking is a disciplined mind activity that guides people s lives by having the principle of justice. In religious topics, what people experiencing and how they reach the religious information that they trust, is the main subject of critical thinking. Therefore, critical thinking will help us in close looking at the religion we live and in being more aware of it. So, this means that religious beliefs are built on knowledge and also means we accept the religion is in thinkable areas. In this context, we should embrace that critical thinking must be considered with morality; in other words, the principles of critical thinking are not so different from the principles of morality. Critical thinking as understood as above, can find its place in the religion and on the other side, the religion indeed requires this kind of thinking. | |||||
