I agree with what you're saying in theory, but I can't imagine how difficult it would be in practice. Maybe an elective class on religious/spiritual based theories would be a good idea, but I'd be concerned about it in a regular, required class. Which religions are included? Who is left out, or what parents are going to object to what is included? How many teachers can really be objective about it?
