If it involves free thinking and not religious dogma then I am all for it. I've never believed that religion should be taught at school anyway. The place for all that is in the churches and even then only when people are mature enough to understand what they are being asked to understand.
It must be left up to the children themselves though and they should be supported throughout - especially when both sides of the argument are put upon them. They must be brought up to question everything though not just what 'we let them know.'

Antony Flew debated with Gary Habermas on the resurrection of Jesus. Flew, probably the world champion atheist at the time, lost the debates, but they became friends. Flew later wrote a book There is a God, with an interesting appendix on Jesus. He also skewers Dawkins' intellectual integrity. Another book The Dawkins Delusion has the same viewpoint and is 'skeptically credible.'
