    It’s illegal to teach religion in US schools unless it’s specifically a class about religion. Which typically happens only in college

      Maybe it’s because I’m in the deep south, but my high school had old testament & new testament classes when I attended.

        That’s technically allowed as long as they are either extra curricular or electives

          It was an elective for me in the very far north, too. I took “Bible as Literature” where it was just like any other English class.
