Religious feelings aside, I think that since many of the sayings we use on a daily basis are from one religion or another, a course such as this would be invaluable. We had one in high school.

In our class, one part was assigning everyone a few Bible verses, and having them find out the modern day usage. Some of those included:

-Alas, Babylon
-pillar of salt
-two by two
-to everything there is a season
-through a glass darkly
-the Alpha and the Omega
and many more.

There were a lot more from many other religions, too; it's been a while since high school, though!
