Seems like religion has had a pretty outsized influence on history and cultures all over the world.
You can’t cover everything in depth in general history or social studies courses.
We don't need an in-depth look at every absurd fairy-tale to be found in these religious texts. It's all silly garbage, and if we really want to zone in on what's important, then religion should mostly be discussed from the angle of it's influence on the world, society, politics, war, etc. The contents of the books are irrelevant, save for that which specifically influenced these things.
