Well... not a science classroom. ;^) > I don't think kids should be taught religion in school but it's > important that they're informed about religion to help understand > history and culture. I would agree. I'm keeping my comments pretty specific to science curricula however. I wouldn't mind at all comparative religion as a subject taught in school. But it's not science. I'm an atheist and so it's likely that my kids with be atheists. But I know of no atheists that find religion useless. At the very least the lessons taught are valuable. You can't learn history well without learning about some religious beliefs. Just as you can learn science well without a firm understanding of the scientific method. There are many places for religion (not A religion) in the classroom. But only very rarely in science.
