I've got to agree. Atheists generally aren't against kids learning ABOUT religion. Religion taught as fact is another matter, but if this course in't about that then it's probably good.
​
In their own lights the fundamentalists probably are right to be concerned about the course. Knowledge is their enemy - and knowledge of other religions is especially dangerous. They don't want their kids to know anything that might lead to them questioning fundamentalist Christianity.
