To not learn about them puts anyone with a career interest in global business or politics at a huge disadvantage.

I disagree, you can spend four months studying or just be transferred to a country and learn in a few days. Why should I learn about a religion, so I can pretend to know what I'm doing but not believe a damn thing? Sure, religious conflicts are one thing -- and very real -- but if religious people can be lead by books thousands of years old, who's to say to say they can't be lead by a charismatic leader with his own interpretation and backed by THE HOLY WORD OF GAWD!!!! This doesn't belong in public schools, except in a very abstract way.
