The Swedish school characterizes a non-confessional religious education, which such education cannot be found in majority of countries in Europe. Despite the influential secularization of society and the individual, there is a notion that proclaims that the non-confessional religious education is not entirely neutral and objective as the syllabus outlines. The purpose of this study is to analyze the non-confessional religious education in a multireligious public school and a Christian independent school. The main purpose of the thesis is to identify the non-confessional religious education and how it is applied in practice in the different school forms. At the same time, it is relevant to examine as regards the space of the religions in the subject of all world religions, partly in scope and partly in content. The method performed is distance interviews by telephone and e-mail due to the prevailing situation with Covid-19. Results of the study show that both school forms are based on a non-confessional religious education, on the other hand shows the empirical material that the public school pays more attention to Christianity in their religious education unlike what it does in the Christian independent school. This is due to various factors such as the location of the municipal school, the student’s response and relationship to other religions which will be discussed in this essay.
