Religion exists in the unknown, and science is making the unknown a much smaller place and correcting mistakes in a way which was at one time called heresy.
The "heavens" do not revolve around the Earth. We have sent spaceships up and there is nothing up there, while "down below" there is a pretty good approximation to hellfire.

I think religious education, if trying to be inclusive, should also cover the perfectly valid points of atheism and agnosticism, after all, any religion is only someone else's interpretation of unreliable non-information.
