Religion has a way of blind siding common sense, and although this is unfortunate, it remains true.
Presenting all types of religions, not just Christianity, would broaden the minds of students. Of course, it would need to be objective.We cannot simply hide Creationism under the rug, when so many people believe it to be true.
Both evolution and creationism need to be learned and it is up to the student to determine the legitamacy. I would not suppress it, or any belief system's fundamentals.The world is a vast place with many ideas and concepts that are worthy of investigating, if only for the reason of understanding humanity and furthering the human cause

If you want to teach belief systems in school I have no problem with it, in a philosophy class. Evolution is not a belief system, it's science, based on evidence. Creationism is a belief, it has no facts, no evidence of facts, nothing what so ever to back it up but a bunch of people who are either too lazy or too stupid to do anything but believe that they are told because it allows them to feel special and above everyone who disagrees with them, especially intelligent people who they are jealous of. This stead fast belief in religion is dangerous, people are willing to kill over there beliefs. Religion has come up against science at every point in the human existence and religion always looses. Religion should keep to it's side of the street before science kicks it's ass again.
