You'd think religion (which has a huge impact on culture and history) would be considered useful.

Nope, not really. Don't think history is that useful either. Culture can be, but you can learn about culture just fine in language or geography classes.

Religion and history is what shapes how people respond and act today.  To just ignore that body of work out there and belive its not useful is to always fall into the same traps history will show as failures.  Religion is a huge part of the world today and in the past and teach it gives a person a better insight why people do what they do whether you agree with what they do or not.  To forget the past is a instane case to repeat the wrongs in the future.
