We all like to cherry pick our points, but I ask, what on earth would make you think that religion or Christianity has ownership over the words or concepts "truth and peace" Take a look what is going on in the middle east, all internecine warfare between competing interpretations of basically the same desert religion.
My cherry picking would ask why you would want our children to be taught many of the things that have been occurring in religious schools in the last year. in Canada.  For example, telling gay children they are inherently disordered, equating contraception to nazi principles, asking menstruating women to go to the back of the class, decline progression through religious positions of authority for anyone with two X chromosomes. 
I will run out of space before I run out of shameful religious practices occurring today in this country. 
Sorry....you asked.
