Your want of even more religion being taught doesn't change my point that its text being taught to children would be abused as most of the country favors talking about how good and great Christianity is. While anything non Christian is characterized as either negative (like Islam), or less than.
Most of the country still thinks you can't have morals without Christianity in your life. Some think morals wouodnt exist without it, especially Christianity. Such reasoning would reflect in one's teachings on so called impacts.
Both Republicans and Democrats as a majority favor Christianity. With Republicans in particular pushing to end the separation of church (more specifically Christianity) and state. Totalitarian rule is a looming agenda with Republicans. Republicans are literally pushing for more Christianity in schools, amd yet we have people here acting like an already movement for more Christianity to children won't be abused.
The bad things Christianity has brought to America is absolutely not openly and widely discussed on the national stage, and more importantly accepted. As even bringing up the bad things religion (more specifically Christianity) has done to America is met with hard pushback and often deflecting, dodging, or quick mention because many don't want to focus on the bad for too long.
We can sit here and sing kumbuya that the bad should be taught and widely accepted in children schools, and that the bad shouldnt be glossed over to focus more on the good. But we are seeing live and in color it's not, as most of the country clearly doesn't want to paint Christianity to be overly bad even when touching on the bad, as a huge focus is placed on the good instead of the bad.
Either dishonesty is grounds for not covering a subject at all or it's not. Implicit in your argument is the assumption that incorrectly taught religion would have worse outcomes than incorrectly taught American history, but I think that's a mistake.
