Most of these schools will not teach things like creationism, but if you found that it did then pull your kids out quick.

As for the bible etc, try explaining the situation to them, inform them that there are many different religions in the world and its up to them to understand them and make informed decisions, explain that the bible although viewed by many as a holy book is also viewed by many as complete fiction.

Hopefully your kids will be clever enough to look at these things rationally. If they are instructed by school to read the bible, then get them a copy of the Torah and other religious books so they can study them all, and group them in the same bracket of fiction.

Plus you are allowed to instruct the schools that they are not to push their religious views onto your kids. Freedom of religion remember that includes freedom from religion.
