Holy shit, I actually agree with something that Splum said.
Why shouldn't we teach religion in school (as a part of history and literature)? We teach the beliefs of ancient Egyptians, the Greek Gods, etc. So why would such teachings of Christianity, Islam, and others be exempt? As long as it is taught with no bias, I fail to see how teaching our children where we came from, why we act certain ways, and so on.
This goes beyond religious crap too. We need to stop being so politically correct in our teaching. Do you know some high schools are not allowed to teach "Catcher in the Rye" and other classics? Lets teach our kids about life and what goes on in it instead of coddling them to be failures in the world.
