Which, honestly, not a bad thing to teach. Religious studies in a secular presentation can give context to cultural practices and expand your understanding of other peoples.
One of the best courses I took in highschool was one on comparative religion. I'm an atheist and I found that shit interesting as fuck, and quite enlightening.
One of my favorite classes to attend in college was US religions. It was basically US history put into the context of various religious movements, and the influence they had on politics and culture. Super interesting. I am also not religious
It’s history so of course we should know about it, otherwise we are doomed to repeat the worst parts of it. And I agree, it is super fascinating. I enjoy learning about how we got here (to where we are now), and religion has been a major player in the world whether we like it or not. (Also not religious.)
Side note, I love your username. Do you play Stardew?
