Oh, I don't mind learning about religion (which is NOT the same as a "religious education") -- in fact, I've always thought it would be a really really good thing to start teaching comparative religion in high school. The beliefs that shape the lives of billions of people are of paramount importance in understanding them.
But treating the Bible, and especially Revelations, as if it's a program book for an upcoming monster truck rally is just nuckin' futz.
And the worst part about the heavy duty religious types can be summed up by, of all people, Weird Al Yankovic (http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/weirdalyankovic/amishparadise.html):
A local boy kicked me in the butt last week I just smiled at him and turned the other cheek I really don't care, in fact I wish him well 'Cause I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in hell
