As someone whose entire education was public, I personally wish I'd gotten some kind of religious instruction since, by my senior year we were just expected to know stuff (I got called on to answer a question about the Bible in English when I didn't raise my hand). Anyway, I would like my child to learn something about it or about different religions so they could make up their own mind about what to believe. I don't think it should be required in public school though. Maybe offer it as an elective and let parents and kids decide for themselves. As for how far is too far, introducing a religion or belief is fine, converting, or pushing a belief on students would be going too far.
