Imagine my surprise. Christianity gets a lot of airtime in history class. But it, like Judaism and all other religions and non-scientific beliefs, is completely irrelevent in a science classroom.

What variety of Judaism? What variety of Christianity? Suppose you have a Jewish family who doesn't want their kid taught Catholicism? Or a Catholic family who doesn't want their kid taught Mormonism?

Better to keep religion out of the public school curriculum entirely. (I'd have no objection, BTW, to purely voluntary after-school religion classes on school property, provided that any interested group was allowed to offer a class).
