I agree that proselytizing MUST be kept out of pubic schools, but I argue that the idea of God can’t be kept out because such a ban would adversely affect the teaching of the humanities. I handle it in my English classes by stressing that my explanations were what the people at the time believed, NOT what my students had to believe..

Not an issue at all. It’s only when some people seek to have their beliefs taught as facts that a problem arises.
