Cum arată ora de religie în Finlanda, unde credința ortodoxă este minoritară: „Putem folosi în continuare rugăciuni, icoane sau cântări bisericești, dar numai dacă servesc unui scop strict pedagogic”

In Finland, religious education is mandatory and tailored to each student's faith, including Orthodox Christianity, which is a minority. Classes often combine students from different grades due to the small number of Orthodox students. The teaching model shifted in 2004 from a confessional approach to a more educational one, allowing for religious traditions to be taught without direct religious practice in the classroom. Elements like prayers and icons can be used strictly for educational purposes, illustrating religious teachings rather than serving as acts of worship.
