A lot of churches already do Sunday school.  I wouldn't want my kids at
a school run by a church though.  It's my opinion that beyond the basics
of reading, writing and arithmetic, religion and education have a bad
tendency to be incompatible, because religions have a nasty tendency to
redefine facts for consistency with their dogma.  And once they start
lying about some facts, they have to lie about other facts to cover up
the first set of lies, and so it goes....
