To address the question in your subject...

I do think religion should be allowed to be discussed in public schools for the sake of educating and informing people about what other people and other religions believe. As long as a certain faith or viewpoint is not being imposed on anybody or treated like it's the only right way, I have no problem with religion being discussed.

As for evolution, I really don't see what the big deal is. I consider myself to be a person of faith, and when I was learning about evolution in school, I never felt like that faith was being challenged or threatened. I was learning what other people thought and theorized, and that was all there was to it. I never felt like anyone was saying to me "if you don't believe in evolution, you believe in superstitious nonsense." So it wasn't an issue for me.



I agree. Religions, atleast the five most popular religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism) should be studied at all grade and high schools for better understanding of other people's beliefs.

Besides, I'm one of those people who believes that science helps prove G-d's existence. There's a specific, artistic order to the universe, and I can't accept the idea that it just happened by chance. There had to be a higher power at work pulling the strings and painting on a canvas. So I don't see religion and science as enemies or rivals.



I respectfully disagree that the complexity of the world would prove God's existence. BTW, my religious feelings are based on Romantic ideas, so I simply don't care about rationalistic "God proofs".
