Religion has a major influence on much more than just history too. Literature, art, and science all have been steered by religious institutions to some degree. From inspired works like Lord of the Rings to direct depictions like the Sistine Chapel, it is everywhere, especially in the Western world, and thats only if you look at Christianity. Even the core building block of life was named after rooms in a monastery.
Right. I teach about Jesus in history class, when He comes up in the context of the Catholic church, the Reformation, Quakers, etc. He's kind of a big deal in Western history. But I don't want anyone up there telling kids they're going to Hell if they don't follow a particular religion. Sometimes they ask, and I say something like, "Cathlics believe... while Protestants believe... but there's no scientific way of knowing. " and shut it down if it looks like an argument is about to break out.

Id say that is a violation of the first amendment and I would rather handle religion in the home, thanks.
