I've been seriously debating whether or not to just take philosophy on it's own or take religious studies as well. I've heard people say they are the same sort of thing, but from what I've read of the course content RS is more of an extension of Philosophy but more religion focused. I'm really passionate about both subjects but I'm worried it'll be a waste of time or that it'll look silly on my CV because I've basically studied the same thing twice.
Are they different enough in their own right for me to take both?

they probably arent the same, but what is the benefit in doing both? universities would ask for one or the other, not both.

The Philosophy course I do which is OCR is made up of Philosophy, Ethics and Christian Theology and thought so I guess philosophy is more of a mixture to be honest I would say Philosophy is an extension of RE.

Because I really love studying religions. If I only took philosophy there wouldn't be enough religious elements in the course, if I took RS it wouldn't have as many philosophy modules.
