My kids school no longer teaches any religion, it cannot half the school has another religion so it tried to have all faiths taken into consideration, a parent meeting decided to stop all religious practice worked pretty well so far

Good teaching about belief systems, both religious and non-religious is IMO vital for the health of a plural society. But that is different to worship and confessional teaching, which is the job of the faith communities, not schools.
