Unfortunately there are alot of subjects kids learn about where religion and religious belief do and SHOULD come up. Interestingly, our founding fathers (who I presume were way smarter than I) did not seem to have a problem with God in the public square.

They did actually. Madison (the guy who basically wrote the constitution), while a devout Christian, was so against God in the public square that he tried to block Congress from getting a chaplain. I don't know about you, but I certainly don't want the government to get involved in instilling faith in my children. I couldn't control what type of religion they were teaching, and, being the government, they would probably screw it up anyway!
