Yes, but the understanding of current religions is also important and should be taught alongside other humanities, such as history and geography.Campbell305 wrote:I think religion should be taught in history classes.

How to become vegan in 4.5 hours:
1.Watch Forks over Knives (Health)
2.Watch Cowspiracy (Environment)
3. Watch Earthlings (Ethics)
Congratulations, unless you are a complete idiot you are now a vegan.

Re: Think: Teaching religion to kids?
The problem with that is that things like religion should be taught to young adults. Usually teachers show bias towards the religion they like when teaching it. I'd love it to be taught to all as mere philosophy, rather than belief. For examples many teachers will hint their faith, or tell students to "Pray to God" or something. And while teaching teachers hint their religion.
Since religion is a virus, it spreads from guardian to child. As from the God Delusion, kids suck in anything they hear from adults, it gets stuck in their head and becomes a life value. That's one of the reason it should be taught to young adults. Usually kids my age will believe anything with merely a book and word from someone with more experience and take that to heart. Kids can't differ out evidence for themselves usually. If it's going to be taught without bias as something to learn, it'd be fine.
That's not the case. Kids learn religion from teachers all the time and they're told to stray away from religions from teachers with bias and false evidence that isn't equal. They'll teach where Hinduism came from, and where the mentions of Muhammed (sorry if I spelled it wrong) came from. Yet they wont teach you where Christianity came from, or who it was written by, which is blatantly biased. They'll teach you the wars that happened over Hinduism and Judaism with stern thought, then they'll teach you Christianity's wars as if they were from a greater being or something. It's funny how they choose to blatantly do these things and biases.
