Abstract: The purpose of this article is to consider the post-confessional history of religious education in Britain, that is, multi-faith religious education, which is the form of religious education that succeeded confessional religious education, and to enquire why (and in what ways) it is in such a ‘lamentable’ state. The focus is on weaknesses rather than strengths, for it is weaknesses that are increasingly becoming apparent and increasingly discussed. Attention is given both to the commitments and ideas that have shaped the changing character of multi-faith religious education over the last fifty years and to identified weaknesses, as revealed in observational research in classrooms and in pupil surveys. ; El propósito de este artículo es considerar la historia post-confesional de la educación religiosa en Gran Bretaña, es decir, la educación multireligiosa, que es la forma de educación religiosa que sucedió a la educación religiosa confesional, y preguntar por qué (y de qué manera) se encuentra en un estado tan ‘lamentable’. La atención se centra en las debilidades más que en las fortalezas, ya que son ellas las que se hacen cada vez más evidentes y se discuten cada vez más. Se presta atención tanto a los compromisos y las ideas que han dado forma al carácter cambiante de la educación religiosa multireligiosa durante los últimos cincuenta años para identificar esas debilidades, como se revela en la investigación observacional en las aulas y en las encuestas a los alumnos.
