I have no problem with religion, but teach it in a religion class. Religion is not science. It's so disappointing that science teachers don't actually know what science is.

Can you imagine if other subjects were taught as poorly as science is. Instead of doing math we would just memorize a bunch of formulas without ever actually learning how to add. Instead of learning to read and write we could just learn the letters of the alphabet without ever learning how to use them.
Well said, Matthew. Religion should not be taught out of religion classes. Those that can't do it should not have the responsibility of shaping the minds of the future.
