What is school like where you're from? Is it like here? How long are you expected to go for?
Do you learn about history and religion there or only history or only religion?
What are your world's teachings on different planes or dimensions? Is there a heaven and hell that are taught? Have there been wars about this? What's the worst depiction of hell, or best depiction of heaven?
In my world, religion is just something parents opt their children into, if they want. It's not even allowed in public classrooms in my country. People don't much believe in afterlife, and even less in the idea that supernatural beings take an interest in anyone's daily affairs. It's a little jarring how readily everyone accepts the existence of demons here. It just reminds me of the 80s when there was a lot of "Satanic Panic" and people thought if you played rock albums backwards it had codes to summoning demons to possessing people.
It seems like even if demons are real, humans probably don't understand them any better than the early myths about what made rain and thunder.
