Ever since humankind started to think, religion has been a fundamental part of our development.  As people look into the vastness of space or witness the miracle of birth, they contemplate the meaning of life and their own mortality.  It has always been this way.  In the 21^st Century, religion still addresses the same eternal human questions about life and death, values and relationships, right and wrong.  Philosophy and Ethics is an inclusive subject, designed for people of any faith and people who have no faith.  If you are keen to discover moral, ethical and philosophical issues in the world today, then it could be for you.  It is a subject that will develop the skill of being able to see both sides of an argument even when you disagree with it.
