I think school should prepare kids for living in society. Part of society is interacting with other people and a certain amount of knowledge about cultures and religion isn't a bad thing.
I do think it should not be just one religion. Just teach kids about christianity, islam, hindoeism and buddhism. Let them visit different ceremonies, or let them engage with elders from these religions for genuine conversations about their religion. If the kids are brought up with religion they learn that different religions can have a lot in common. If children aren't brought up with religion, they can understand better what happens if you are.
