Just...no. All religion is a disease and it all needs to stay out of schools. The only thing that should be thought in schools concerning religion is about all the "hell" it has brought to this world for the sake of people getting to "heaven", a week or so long class annually or by annually. I myself am not an atheist and I do hold some beliefs (I will offer to my kids, not force) but here in Ireland this is something we don't have to worry about anymore but we did for the longest time, in the last decade the church lost itsgrip here. I was the last generation of kids to get it drummed at us but I never believed it from a very young age (I watched Carl Sagans Cosmos reruns on VHS about 100 plus times before I even got to school at four) What sickens me is that still today, many of the people I went to school with are in their mid twenties, starting families and still going to mass like sheep and I now notice they are forcing their kids. Maybe the post 2000 generation will get rid of it.

 

Forcing a religion/no religion upon a child will do nothing but cause difficulty for them to think on their own.
