Interesting that you would prefer to perpetuate a state of ignorance about part of human history and society in an educational institution...
Anyway, as the above probably demonstrates I'm in favour of children being taught about religion in schools, and to be made more aware of all the major world religions and belief systems. I think I've lost count of the number of times I've heard people saying things on TV or the Internet which show they have very little idea what they're talking about and are regurgitating inane soundbites, and anything to promote knowledge and make the debate more rational is a good thing in my mind. I'd want all religions to be taught on an equal basis and properly evaluated, though, so people can come to their own decisions without being led one way or the other.
