    Hard to avoid completely when teaching history that is the result of people’s beliefs in those texts, or functioning with believers of those religions as members of society. Comparing historical laws that were based on religion, the similarities of creation myths, and so on are solid educational topics when presented from a neutral position and always including multiple religions as examples.

    No government should ever promote them or use them as justifications for anything in a government or educational program though. Especially anything that might elevate one above the others.
