I honestly can't decide! It's really annoying me because I can't take both! Any advice about them would be greatly appreciated. The exam board for both is OCR
Thanks

RS has units such as Hindu, Judaism and things like that. It looks at specific religions. There's also an AS and A2 unit soley devoted to the Bible as well!

Philo/Ethics is basically the study of Philosophy of Religion and Religious Ethics, more pointing to the Judaeo-Christian God and a little bit of Catholicism when looking at Kant and etc.

Oh... I done AS religious studies when I was in year 10 and I remember the units being philosophy and ethics so we didn't study Hinduism, Judaism etc. Instead we looked at the problem of evil and suffering, the design argument/cosmological argument, utilitarianism, just war etc. (Exam board was Edexcel)

Philosophy as a subject is more about things like theory of knowledge, truth tables, utilitariansm, animal rights, environmental ethics, Death and Reincarnaton, God and problem of evil and etc etc. But you just don't apply any of those topics to a particular religion. When you do, that's when it becomes Religious Studies.
