I think we should teach religion in schools. Not just christianity but all the religions so that people can understand and view different belief systems-including evolution. I know it goes against separation of church and state, but I think it would really leave us open to what different people believe, etc.

You would have to teach every single religion out there for it to not be considered prejudice. Even then, it's too easy for teachers who are religious to present their own religions in a favorable way to students, and elementary and even high school students are far too malleable to risk something like that.
Besides, alongside those who believe in God, Allah, Ganesh, Odin, etc., there are those of us who believe that all dieties are a load of hokey. Shall we have an Atheism class then as well, that teaches students about how religion is untrue?</p>
