2008-2015: RLE

Religion, livssyn og etikk (RLE) , dt. "Religion, view of life and ethics", was a compulsory school subject. It was introduced in 2008 and replaced the Kristendoms- religions- og livssynskunnskap (KRL) subject . In December 2007, the Norwegian government announced changes to the subject: All religions should be treated equally, the minimum share of 55 percent Christianity has been removed.

1997-2008: KRL

Kristendoms-, religions- og livssynskunnskap (KRL) , German "Christianity, religion and philosophy of life", was a compulsory school subject in Norway. It was introduced in 1997 and replaced the subjects kristendomskunnskap (Christianity) and livssynskunnskap ( philosophy of life).

It was discussed whether the subject should have a compulsory character and whether primary school pupils can be exempted for those parts of the subject that could have a “preaching” effect. After its inception, it was criticized by humanist, Jewish, Muslim, and Buddhist representatives. They feared that the state would force Christian indoctrination on their children. An evaluation of the subject showed that a partial exemption from lessons worked poorly in practice, whereupon seven families sued the state in order to obtain a full exemption. You lost on all Norwegian legal instances. However, four families appealed to the UN Human Rights Committee and three families to the European Court of Human Rights. In November 2004, the UN Human Rights Committee found that the ordinance on partial exemption from teaching was contrary to human rights. In June 2005 the Norwegian Parliament decided to give the subject a less preaching character. Among other things, the original name of the subject was changed from Kristendomskunnskap med religions- og livssynsorientering (Christianity with an orientation towards religion and belief ) to the name Kristendoms-, religions- og livssynskunnskap . Furthermore, the subject was released from the school's Christian purpose limitation paragraph.

The lawsuit before the European Court of Human Rights was opened on December 6, 2006. The court ruled whether the school subject was indoctrinating and, if so, whether the existing exemption regulations were sufficient. The court ruling of June 2007 stated that KRL in the 1997 form is in conflict with human rights. However, no decision was taken on whether the subject was still in conflict with human rights after the 2006 reform ( Kunnskapsløftet ). The current status was therefore unclear, as the court order dealt with a previous stage of the subject.
