It's the specific content of a particular religion that has to be taught. Religious ideation, otoh, comes factory standard on all of us. We don't all believe that the world should be a specific way for a particular reason, but we all have the experience of thinking the world should be some way. That some things are forbidden or taboo. That some things are sacred and compelling. That this or that thing should be changed from what it is, to whatever that is, with respect to those apprehensions.
IIR we've had this convo already, and we're going to be committed to drowning that minor blip of accuracy in a vast gulf of bullshit. Correct?
If by religious standard, you mean simple belief, yeah, that makes since. Still, religion is synonymous with belief, and that does not have to be about a supreme being at birth, right?
