I think religion should be taught in schools. From an academic standpoint, not just one and not just the Christian judeo but as many as possible to create a good contrast. It should include all the merits such as prescribed Behavior that has social or health benefits. It should also include the flaws and the highly implausible stories. It should also compare and contrast atheism. I realize that some of you might say well what are the cons of atheism? And other than the lack of spiritual stuff, I would cite it's over-reliance and belief in science, as opposed to a critical acceptance of science. Blind Faith in science creates issues of groupthink, and making changes too quickly when it isn't it prudent. For an example see the egg and its position as unhealthy or healthy in any given decade based on science.
