The study shows Northern Ireland's Religious Education is not suitable for its increasingly plural society, ahead of reforms following the Supreme Court ruling.
A February 2025 survey of about 1,050 people and teacher focus groups informed the findings.
The UK Supreme Court ruled that Christian-focused RE in Northern Ireland was unlawful and must be reformed.
38% of respondents were unhappy with primary RE focusing only on Christian beliefs, while 37% were satisfied.
60% said learning about multiple religions would benefit pupils and reduce prejudice.
Some respondents viewed RE as confessional and feared indoctrination.
Researchers called for a new RE syllabus with input from diverse faiths beyond the four main Christian churches.
The report suggested a code of conduct for external visitors delivering assemblies.
Education Minister Paul Givan said the RE syllabus would be reformed, though current law remains in place.
The study was funded by Culham St Gabriel's Trust and others, including NI Interfaith Forum and Parents for Inclusive Education.
