Going back to Christianity itself. Also other world religions... The various sects in Judaism, Islam and more. The schisms in the Christian faith... Look at the Anglican Communion, the Lutheran branch, the various Baptists. I think someone posted a joke here recently going into that topic that I enjoyed.

I can't do it. But we can teach in our schools that world religions cannot agree on the true one way themselves and the easiest way to do that is in the context of a history class. Might even find some amazing American history in there along the way.
