I don't mean learn about some imagined god but learn about how people lived and thought and how they made records.
I have recently been playing with the Christians on their forums and virtually none of them knew that 'the bible' (now a very misleading term!) was put together on the orders of the Pagan Emperor Constantine. I'm not claiming I converted any of them but it sure as hell made some of them think. They generally only know Sunday school nonsense.
The more we can get theists to think, the better the chances of the planet surviving Islamic/Christian/Jewish nuclear war in your life time.
