Exactly. It is intended to "make them believe". That is religious propaganda and it has no place being taught in a public school funded by taxpayers money. Lies should not be taught in the same classroom with math and science.

What if every dollar bill said "God does not exist" instead?
There is no reason why any religious philosophy need to be printed on currency that everyone must use.

Because it is public school, not sunday school.
There are private schools for those who want that.
