No one on this thread said that but Republicans often perpetuate false equivalencies between science and Christianity. They're actively trying to make the Bible taught in schools. That's what I was talking about. Religion should never be taught in any school.
Religion should never be taught in any tax funded public school except in the context of the history of a country or the social makeup of a country. You simply cannot teach about fully about history without the mention of religion and religious based events coming into play.
While in Catholic school, I took a course called World Religions, it was actually a good class.
Agreed.
To be clear, I think religions have had a far more negative impact than positive throughout history and should eventually be done away with. But realistically there's no feasible way to do that and won't be for a very long time so for now I think furthering education is the best answer we have.
