Should students be educated on logical fallacies and illogical statements...
​
Yes. That would help them recognize snake-oil salesmen of all stripes, including both clergy and politicians.
​
Of course, that's the last thing either group, or used car salesmen, would want to see.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
