respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

Having a Bible, a Torah, a Koran, or other religious texts in a public school does not establish a religion. Prohibiting a student or employee from possessing one in a public school almost certainly would violate the 1st Amendment's free exercise provisions.

You don't have to teach religion to teach about religion. You don't need to teach atheism to teach about atheism. There's nothing wrong with teaching about the impact of religion, or lack thereof, on world history.
