Religion does have a part in Humanities and Literature courses.
After all, the Iliad is an important part of our literature, but it discusses a war that was started by the bickering of goddesses.
Same thing with the Bible and the Koran. They represent centuries of culture, so removing them outright would be a shame.
I just reread Job the other day. While it does little but promote God as a petty, insecure blowhard, the chapters where Job does nothing but curse God is quite an exercise in writing. Likewise, God's retort was an interesting read, though it did get old after the first few verses. In essence, they were all synonyms of "I'm so much greater than you," which could have been wrapped up into less than one chapter.
Edit: To carypratt, America was not founded on religious zealotry. The founding fathers were deists who wanted to preserve people from government-sanctioned religious persecution. It sounds like your shcool needed to focus less on religion and more on history.

You don't say what you mean by religion, because there is currently a rather interesting "religion" being taught, albeit subtly in government schools. ; )
