Which Religion? Which Denomination? Which Bible?
As an advocate of teaching religion in the schools, I am curious as to which religion you would insist be taught?
And if the answer is Christianity, which one of the 30,000 denominations, and which one of the 30,000 versions of the Bible would you demand?
If you refuse to answer, your position automatically becomes unrealistic for the simple fact the details have not been addressed.

The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.
Salman Rushdie
This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us. - the character Rorschach in Watchmen
