This article explores the significant links existing between France’s, England’s, and Quebec’s citizenship education curriculum and their respective religious traditions, which all derive from Christianity, that is their core and common affiliation. Based on the premise that religion, as a cultural fact, leaves a profound and lasting imprint on contemporary societies, the authors show that the values and ideals issued from those religious traditions are more or less transposed into the French’s, English’s and Québécois’s models of citizenship education.
