It would all be fine in a history of relgions class. Which I think would be a welcome addition to public education.

Absolutely. There is nothing wrong with teaching people about religion in public schools, it's just wrong to teach them to believe in religion.

 I actually read an article in Time magazine, that some schools are doing just that. It's a neutral religious class, where they don't teach that the bible is right or wrong, but rather have students study and examine it from an objective standpoint. Does the bible have contradictions? Is the morality presented in the bible perfect or flawed? What is the message of the bible? Is it a cohesive message? It doesn't try to say one way or another if it's right or wrong, it just tries to get students to look at it and think. And that I'm all for. Have a bible class, have a science class. But don't present the bible as science.

The problem with that is that not all teachers can be objective...
