As I said before, it's all about the context. Teaching about religion in a history or social studies class is perfectly acceptable. Teaching religious beliefs as an alternative to scientific theories in a science class is not acceptable.

Well isn't that exactly what I said?
So you have no problem with creationism being taught in a theology class?
For the record, I took a theology class in high school. And creationism was taught...and very well presented by my teacher. Our whole class, atheists AND theists...all agreed that we all walked away having learned something.
Time Magazine had an article a while back....and the author presented a very well-written case of why the Bible SHOULD be taught in a theology class. And why students SHOULD have a chance to learn about it.

Don't you think you should give students a chance to learn about the most dominant book of our history?
