tl;dr: Yes

OP was quoting the article, about as on topic as you can get! I am never judgemental of others religious convictions, people are obviously entitled to believe what they want, however I would expect someone with a background in mathematics to teach mathematics, someone with a background in history to teach history, someone with a background in science to teach science and someone with a background in bible theology to teach R.E. (religious education)! I cant help but wince every time I hear a story about a deeply religious person becoming a teacher to teach biology or history! Especially in america where some already dispute the "theory" of evolution and refuse to teach it in schools!

Afaik bible theology and history are two completely separate circles on the venn diagram, one completely based on evidence the other completely on the lack of evidence and entirely on faith/beleif? How did this get so far off topic?

Am I the only one to have read/noticed: "My background is in bible theology. I went to school to be basically a history teacher." and instantly tensed up??
