I believe that if kids had courses in the bible, they would have a better understanding of what their life is all about. I can honestly say that not only to teach them from the Bible, but the Koran too, so these kids have a knowledge of the world and their purpose. There are differences in teaching of both, but that is the purpose of teaching a child that religion is different in a lot of cultures and to understand them better is important for all cultures.
