I didn't say send them to church. I'm talking about teaching religion in the same way as history and culture is taught. A religion is essentially a culture. Are we saying that culture should also not be taught because kids won't understand what the teacher is talking about? That's the whole point of school, to educate kids about the subject. Teachers teach many subjects from scratch, and the kids pick it up. There's no difference with religion. What you're doing there is confusing being sent to church and being preached at with being taught in a school environment. It is not the same. And your use of the word "gullible" gives away the fact that for you, it all boils down to you not wanting others to have views which you disagree with. It's obvious because you're ignoring the fact that any subject can be taught to anyone of any age, in a school environment, with everything explained clearly so they understand, without preaching.
