Thanks for the answer! I can understand why it would be interesting, or even helpful, as a course of study in school. I am not too sure about why religions are a "no-no" in our own schools, even if only as an introduction (laicity didn't mean "to put a ban on a subject" Last time I checked). But I am digressing.

I work with kids of 16-19. Most of these kids are not too interested in religion when they first show up. They also have lots of prejudices against religion, particulary christianity and islam. Almost all of them have a strong dislike of the concept of God. On the other hand they have a very strong opinion on how God should be. He's unfair and evil and thus he can't exist, but he should be good and fair and powerful and worthy of their love. In essence they want a God, but they can't find one that is good enough for them

Well, I trust you explain to them why you cannot have a perfect deity; it all depends on your number of design points. A powerful god strong in magic and with potent magic is more likely to be Ermorian after all, and as such might not qualify as being a "good and fair" god, unless you fancy being an undead of some sort. Thus design points can be said to be the explanation for this behaviour. *Ducks for cover*
