Doesn't matter, practiced, not practiced, believed, not believed. Teaching is about presenting the facts and teaching the students to learn to think, to determine the "truth" themselves. It's not about indoctrination in any form. That's what 'liberal' means when applied to education -- to allow any and all study of any and all perspectives.
I would like nothing more that to have a required religious studies course in every school curriculum provided it objectively examined, compared and contrasted the major existing (and as many minor would fit) religious beliefs as possible. This could truly be an eye opener for many.
