by all means we should teach kids about religion for the same reason we should teach them about politics. but i've said before and i'll say again: it's immoral to do so dishonestly. for example, if you're teaching christianity to a kid, you'd better be telling him the bad points as well as the "good", e.g. the complete lack of evidence for its truthfulness, its indescribably evil track record throughout history etc

Agreed, I don't mind people teaching about religion. But when they're shoving it down your throat without really giving any history lessons on the evils it's done to this world, you're not helping anything...

One thing I will give credit to my girlfriend's college for is, when she took a couple of religion classes they said they would cover the bigger religions evenly across the board... discussing the good, bad, and raising questions about the truthfulness in all of them. And from what she told me, her teacher actually did a fair job. But that is just one classroom among many here.

Edit: Also imagine this shit storm if you can... we have a black history month in America... why not a white history month? Dont Get It
