Religion class was a boatload of mostly useless BS. Maybe they taught the odd parable here and there to reinforce good morals but overall the class was useless until high school.
When kids get to high school it starts to being to serve a bit of a purpose as they start teaching about the various religions without much focus on "Jesus is the light" stuff. Having a bit of education on the western and eastern religions probably isn't the worst thing given how diverse our country is. That being said, high school religion class still has more than enough stupid "write in your journal about how you feel god has helped you this week" stuff (they actually think high school kids want to do this which is the best part).
