maybe. I had a teacher in middle school who was very religious and decided to skip the evolution chapter because &quot;we didn&#x27;t have time&quot;.<p>It is almost never irrelevant. You know what George Bush said about Putin when he met him? He said he could tell that he was a great guy because he was wearing his grandmother&#x27;s cross. If the leader of the free world can be tricked so easily because of his faith it is an issue. Especially when we know Putin hasn&#x27;t worn the cross before or after. He figured that is all it took to fool the leader of the free world.
