Some may argue it's just the inverse of saying one needs religion to live morally, which implies those without religion are immoral, I guess?
This is why I think it may be better to remove the religious or atheism concepts from the equation and just teach the elements of critical thinking, et cetera. But equally, it may not be better
That said, I understand that learning about those beliefs (or lack of) helps everyone to better know or understand another's point of view, and therefore we can better understand and be mindful of them as people.
