Turning it around, whatever you believe, religion is a vital force in our society worldwide with many more people professing to have some belief in one or many gods than profess to being atheistic so why would you want to deliberately exclude it from children's education? In fact if you do exclude it are you not de facto imposing a minority agenda (Atheism or at least agnosticism) on them through ignorance? If people are to have true religious freedom (as I believe they should) then they need to know something about the various beliefs just as freedom of political belief requires you to have knowledge of politics.

Why is religion not involved in schools?

religion is a central part of many schools, both in the US and across the world. In the US, there are catholic schools and thousands of other faith-based schools. These schools are considered private schools, in the sense that they do not receive public funds. You must pay to attend these schools. they teach normal classes, but in addition, they also teach religion. Public funded schools are strictly forbiden from teaching religion, due to separation of state and church. If the public schools were to teach any religion, that could indicate a government preference for one religion over another, which is undesirable. Government and religion are treated separate, in order to acheive freedom of religion. State sponsored religion should be avoided, because it causes problems, such as civil war and oppression of other religions.
