To my mind, school (gr 1 - 12) is about teaching children how to learn, not so much about what they are learning (to some degree), so that when they go to post secondary school they have the ability to actually learn.
I might be way off on this though.

Do they now? Probably not but that's not because the mind is incapable of it, it's because society and the education system teaches people to be drone like regurgitators of data without actually processing it. If you teach people about religion it forces them to question their worldview and it reduces close-mindedness because of how complex it is and how unlikely it is that any one perspective is the absolute truth.
