teaching religion is not for public school.
Teaching religion is for pay to go, schools.

Joan of Arc can be taught about in a non-religious context — it was a pivotal period in Western European history, and Joan’s betrayal, trial, and execution was at least as much a geopolitical act as a religious issue. Joan of Arc has been a powerful symbolic figure in Western culture and nationalism for five hundred years, and an immensely popular figure. Joan wasn’t even formally recognized to be a saint in the Roman Catholic Church until 1920.
.
For that matter, how could you teach European history without mentioning the church? The purely geopolitical role of the church was huge. (Separation of church and state was a peculiarly American innovation.) Also, in the Dark Ages the only islands of preservation and scholarship for the culture and civilization of the ancient world were the Catholic monasteries and universities; without them, the Renaissance couldn’t have happened.
.
Ignore the role of religion in who we are, and how we came to be this way, and you end up knowing nothing.

that history must have seemed archaic

IMudd, your assertion is not correct. Mentioning religious topics is not forbidden. It is the endorsement or advocacy toward one religion or another that isn’t allowed.
To leave religion out of school or the public square for that matter is to naively avoid the overwhelming impact that religion has played in American and World history. Not all of it good for sure, but many are set on removing any form or mention of religion from market place all under the banner of separation of church and state.
Most people don’t even know what the original intent of that phrase meant. It only meant that the state should not acitvely endorse or force free people to submit to a single state-approved religion.
So many injustices have been done under the misconceived notion that that means no religion at all.It is not so much that the atheist zealots want to be protected from state intrusion as much as it is them misusing it do further their own secular annihilation of religion and Christianity in particular.
