Review the RE curriculum to ensure equal depth in teaching all major religions

What the petition asks

Review the Religious Education curriculum in all schools to ensure all major religions are taught with equal depth and respect. I believe Christianity should still be taught, but religions like Sikhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism should receive more meaningful and balanced coverage.
I feel many students only learn surface-level information about religions outside Christianity, which can lead to stereotypes and misunderstanding. As a Sikh, I feel the teaching of other religions in schools are often reduced to festivals or basics instead of their history, beliefs and contributions.
