Of course. But intent can be directed toward intrinsic ends as easily as it can toward extrinsic ends.

People know more about the origins/stories of Zeus/Ares/Athena than they do the religions that shape cultures around the world. It is important for people to understand the varied religions/prevailing thoughts that inspired and continue to shape cultures and even laws around the world.
And education in philosophy should start in high school, if not before (my high school didn't even offer a philosophy class).
I'm honestly at a loss as to why creationists keep trying to foist their doctrine into science classes where it doesn't belong when they could incorporate theism into educational curriculum as part of a philosophy course.
