I had to learn about a handful of religions, and I do believe that religious education played a part in me becoming an atheist.

I can believe that religious education conducted by a public institution would cause people to become atheists.
The US public schools do not directly teach religion.

it would probable take you a term to objective and fail at introducing any a sort of. If anybody branch of the government does no longer agree it relatively does no longer remember what the president believes a great form of the time.

I'm not sure where some of the answerers above me went to school, but in my high school we had units on all the major religions in world history class and throughout what was called social studies classes in the middle grades. I cannot recall a teacher ever saying "this religion is wrong, and this one is right."

the specific class called "religious education" is not sanctioned in public schools.
if there is a "world religions" class then its part of social science and doesnt usually get taught until high school.

What I would like to see is that churches, synagogues and masjids are able to rent classroom spaces BEFORE the start of school to offer a religion class. Atheists too could rent and teach their kids morality or civics. That way, the separation of Church and State would remain and schools would have more revenue. That would also eliminate Sunday schools and kids would have more time on weekends.
Religion/spirituality/moral teachings are an important aspect of one's education. One of the problem that we have in schools is that there are no moral teachings, and kids fall easy prey to a culture of drugs and premarital sex.

Religious education has been banned in Public Schools in the USA since l965. At least any mention of Heavenly Father or Jesus Christ. Where are you living?

no. the majority don't want religion taught unless they can teach christianity as truth, which isn't allowed.
i think, however, an objective course on all main religions should be taught in school

Evolutionism is crammed down peoples throats in government schools. (but I don't suppose that's what you refer to)

Yes, but according to the NEA that does not include Christianity.
