See how many kids get outraged at that.
Edit: or since the teacher is just being politically correct by respecting religion, I could just ask "would you say that religion is entirely unnecessary for society to function as a whole?"
Or you could just express it as your opinion, rather than phrasing it as a question that could be answered simply, "No."
