I said already! I'm not against the education of religion. In fact teaching about the crusader wars, inquisition, stonings and the drowning of women should be taught. It's historical. Just not on the very young and gulible. Also kids/students should have the option to not be involved in lessons on the subject of religion. What part of that didn't get into your head?
I was once very young and gulible and I remember. The school did more than try to educate me on religion, it tried to convince me of god's existance. They failed but it's because of this experiance I stand strongly against religion when it comes to the young and gulible. I'm not saying religion shouldn't be taught, just not on the very young. Religion can all too easily push it too far. Also kids/students should be able to opt out of such things as they wish. The education of religion should be optional not compulsory and not at all in the schools for the very young.
When I was taught that everything was created in 7 days, I thought "WTF!". Till one of my class mates came out and said "but I thought god was all-powerful? Why would it take him 7 days?". The teacher's reaction was quite funny. He just moved on and changed subject.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
