Only as electives in highschool.

World religions should be required in secondary education. Learning how they have shaped and continue to shape the world is imperative to understanding where we are and how we should proceed.

when somebody made me read the Bible, I was pretty much done when the snakes started talking

no

Religion should be taught in school from a historical point of view and by taking a look at all religions and not focus on one. Definitely with a purpose to show the evolution of them and the impact they've had and continue to have on society and as well as to promote critical thinking. It should never be the purpose to promote religion in any way but to allow people of all walks of life to think and decide by themselves if it's something worth believing in after being viewed with a critical eye.

If I would believe in God, I would have to believe in the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, etc. To me, religion is a way that has been used to control people, but with all the wars that have been fought over religion, it's not working. When I look in the mirror, I see the person who has made my life, a life I can be proud of. Not God, not the EB or SC!

Coming home from work, getting in my jammies, getting in my bed, with my best friend, "my puppy", and watch TV.

No

I wish I could say as much as astrology should be thought. But the truth is many children will be pushed by their parents towards a religion so I think it's best if they get exposed to discussion about multiple religions (including atheist and agnostic) to minimize the damage. Although I think your question is about specific religion, which in that case I think it is a child abuse and a crime to imprint their minds with BS!

No

Daniel Dennet has a great YouTube video on religion and schools. Absolutely religion should be taught in schools. However, you cannot teach one religion or Philosophy you must expose the children to all varied belief systems. It you don’t do that, then you are not teaching, you are indoctrinating. I believe if you allow the child to choose what is best for them, then that child will be better at accepting the differences in others when they are older.

Academically

No way-which religion would be taught? We need to teach our children well/to be all inclusive regardless of race,religion, ethnicity,sexual orientation or disability.

Just the history.

As a part of history, only.

EMBRACE SECULARISM! Church and state should NEVER meet. I want my child to learn, not believe in fairy tales and bullshit! Absolutely NOT!

no it shouldn't because there are so many religions if u teach kids a particular religion it affects them and in other places there are teaching a different type humans just get confused by themselves.you Will see someone moving from Christianity to Muslim nand vice versa instead I think biology n science should be taught more and give emphasis on.

No, not at all! School is school, just like work is work where religion shouldn't be talked about at all.

No it should not. If you teach one type of religion then all others would demand to be taught also. If we didn't have religion we would have peace. By the way I can send you a free touch from God for 1.25 that is to cover postage

As an academic subject, yes. I suspect in some districts it'd be hard to teach Christianity with the same detachment and rigor that would be extended to other religions.

Religion does not belong in schools. We might as well teach them astrology and alchemy. Falls in the same realm for me.

no.
schools are there to teach our kids useful life skills, reading, writing, Maths and so on. not to waste time indoctrinating our children with useless metaphysics, teach morals of course but don't claim religion has the moral high ground. The historical importance of religions can not of course be omitted, they have shaped human history and in my opinion not for the better.

No. That is a personal choice and should be between you and your family

No problem with the teaching of religious history in public schools as long as it is not taught as factual doctrine. As an elective, not a requirement. Of course private schools can do whatever they want.

Absolutely not, it’s unconstitutional.
