All religions should be taught in school as mythology.

Mythology- Pro: -"Religion is to be considered myth if there is no substantial evidence to verify its claims." -"Religions being taught in school is beneficial for the youth in ultimately deciding their own faith or lack there of individually." -"The reason I would classify it as being mythology is to accredit no religion as purely superior to the other religions." Then Atheism needs to be taught as mythology. The overwhelming majority consider Atheism as a myth. So if Atheism is not taught as "mythology", we have pandered to one particular religious sect. 84% of the world claims a particular religion. 76% of Americans claim Christianity, and this stat excludes other American religious demographics. http://m.washingtontimes.com... * The key ingredient that has given power and authority has been "Darwinian theory". It has never been witnessed, measured, or tested. It does not meet the bare minimum of qualifications under the Scientific Method, thus it is a myth by Pro's own definition. So Darwinian Evolution must be taught as a myth if it is taught in schools. And if Creationism is true, it is not a myth, making atheism a myth by default. * Creationism is a valid hypothesis for how we came to be. It simply states that an intelligent designer created our reality. With virtual reality and Matrix theory, this is not only coceivable, but a realistic possibility. James Gates, Science Adviser to Barack Obama states that the equations used to describe the universe in super symmetry are binary computer code. Specifically, it is Block Linear Dual Self Error Correcting Computer Code. Our reality is described mathematically in terms of computer programming software. http://theawakenment.com... https://en.m.wikipedia.org... https://www.sott.net... http://www.novaspivack.com... http://humansarefree.com... And if any single civilization anywhere created simulations of reality, eventually their simulated realities would create simulated realities, and by probability alone, the odds are that you are in a simulated reality as opposed to a real reality. In other words, simulated realities well outnumber real realities, so you most likely are in a simulation rather than in reality itself. http://www.newyorker.com... https://en.m.wikipedia.org... * The Big Bang theory with relativity is described as a tiny point that exploded into light particles and expanded out. This is how all Abrahamic faiths believed it happened for thousands of years, per Genesis and a myriad of verses describing the heavens as being stretched out or stretching outwards. Job also describes Earth as hanging upon nothing. https://www.amazon.com... http://www.timesofisrael.com... http://www.foxnews.com... * Pro: "Religion is to be considered myth if there is no substantial evidence to verify its claims." This includes Atheism. * I have already given heavy reason to believe what the Bible has to say in past debates. Calling it mythology is the most incorrect word one could use to describe it. http://www.debate.org... http://www.debate.org... http://www.debate.org... http://www.debate.org... * 76% of Americans are Christians. To call their belief "mythology" is an insult to the majority and a blatant disregard for the democratic concept of "majority rules". * Without any plausable atheist explanations for what caused the Big Bang, atheism holds no high ground on Creationism. As a matter of fact, evidence is showing more and more that Atheism is possibly the greatest mythological creation ever conceived by mortal man to control man. * Atheism has pulled a reversal. It has become the new religion trying to assert control over the minds of men. It has blocked any concepts that refute scientific theories as a means of power and control. https://itsnobody.wordpress.com... http://mileswmathis.com... http://www.deism.com...
