[Joshua May]

As part of a history lesson, yes, religion should or at least can be brought up because religion has played such a dominant role in human history, the crusades, the inquisition, etc. Mind you, I'm saying the history of the religions, not the history that the religion says occured (ark, adam and eve, etc) in class, the other is not acceptable.

Such questions as are on that worksheet and extra credit question, however, should most certainly NOT belong in a public classroom. Now with Pride and Prejudice, if these are literary references that are a clear part of the novel and play some role in it, then ok, but if the teacher is using this as a religious platform of some sort, then, no.
