I went to a non religious elementary school, and that class was taught. I wasn't in the class though as my parents refused to let a 11 year old boy be brainwashed. We all know young kids believe everything they are taught, and religion is one thing that was not allowed to be taught to us. If we wanted to learn, we would do it ourselves, but getting an education has nothing to do with religion, so I just spent that time on a computer playing cheesy ass games.

Remeber those computers where the monitor and keyboard were built into each other? No mouse, and the graphics were these hideous green, block letters with no pictures. :p

that should be "and NOT believe everything a teacher says..." Sorry for the double post on this, but I missed the edit window and I left out a very important word.

I view religion as a method of population control. thats all it really is.
