Frankly, theology is university level stuff and it is pointless teaching it at high school when they should be focussed on literacy and other basic skills. Waste of time.

I don't think it's theology. It's no different than any of the old books you read in English class. We read Oedipus, Shakespeare, and ancient stories all the time in class. Why should the bible not be treated as a piece of literature?
But the biggest teaching of it is in history. From the Crusades, to the evolution of Europe, religion has played a huge role. The same goes for the Middle East. How can you teach any history without teaching them of their beliefs?
