religious teaching
Faith-based moral guidance
Religious teaching is instruction in matters of faith, doctrine, or spiritual practice.
It encompasses what a religion holds to be true—its beliefs, moral codes, and sacred texts—as well as the act of transmitting these: The church offers religious teaching for children, Buddhist religious teachings on suffering.
The phrase can refer to a body of doctrine or to education in that doctrine.
