I'm still bit undecided about this, I see your point about cultures, but i think respect for different cultures can be teached without presenting teacher draped with religious symblos. I don't like organised religion at all, so I think there should be no place for it in school. different cultures are, of course, welcome but for me thats something different than just religion.

Science has been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death
