Religion does not belong in schools (or government ) so it's a good job it isn't taught in schools isn't it .You are once again confusing religious worship and religious education ,not surprising since you didn't take the subject .Teaching about religion does not involve any kind of worship at all ,it merely gives one an insight into how religions work and how they effect world order .Yes i agree it is history of sorts and imo should be taught alongside a history course for the best results ,but religion is such a wide ranging subject as to be worthy of it's own lesson and specialist teachers
