I think it should be taught in schools but should be optional. Religion has such a profound and historical effect on society that I think it'd be rather foolish to not have it taught. Even if one doesn't believe in a certain religion, it's good to understand what it is so one can appreciate its weight in society. For my school, it was taught in some history courses but there was no true religion or theology course. Since history is somewhat of an optional course (i.e. optional at a certain grade/year), I vote for it being optional.
