Religion has no place in science class. How is that difficult to understand?
As for should religion be taught in school at all, obviously it has no place in state schools, except if the state is a certain religion (at the very least, it is useful to know how to be respectful to those around you). At private schools then they can teach whatever they want, I don't think anyone goes to "Jesus's Good Ol' Fashioned Bible School" expecting to have a religion-free education.
But do I agree with teaching "just one religion" (when people say "religion should be taught in school" what they really mean is "I think my particular sect of a particular religion should be taken as truth")? Not really. Religion is by definition fiction.
Should it be taught for cultural and historical value? Yes.
Should it be 'equal' to science? No.
Keep science in science class, and religion in religious class (if there is one).
It is NOT a tough concept.

I went through school having to sit religious classes. It wasn't a big deal. Religion is pretty much the same as English class. You just agree with the teacher and get good marks (disagreeing will get you no where in school).
Saying that, it was interesting to see just what kind of fantasies these people believe. Although I managed to keep a straight face the entire time, so it was great.
