Although admittedly, it was used as justification for a few travesties in American history. Namely slavery and opposition to interracial marriage.
It shouldn't be. We shouldn't teach kids that its OK to kill people and enslave them if you're doing it in the name of your god. That's called hiding from the truth, no one wants to say "We were wrong" so instead we say "The religion was wrong". See the problem?
