I currently work as a tutor. I don't really see the contradiction in teaching a "sterile" math course. (that is, one without the mention of God) Math and theology answer two very different questions. Math describes the created order, but can never answer "why." Whereas theology attempts to answer the "why" with limited description of how creation actually work. Educators cannot teach all things at all times. Parents should absolutely teach their children that God set up the universe in a certain way. But it is also alright to simply describe what is going on (math). I am a seminarian and I also happened to major in Computer Science/Math in college. I currently work as a tutor.
