Abstract
YouTube, while a global platform for sharing personal opinions, often includes subjective beliefs rather than scientifically sound information when it comes to religious content. To prevent indoctrination, ethics and philosophy lessons should provide essential tools for a well-founded critical view of religion. The paper effectively utilises religious videos to demonstrate their significance in missionary work and how young people can engage with them. The concept of religion is characterised, and criticism of religion is practically applied in an example, highlighting their usability in the classroom.
