Where does the "Night Before Christmas" get religious? Rather a classic poem, isn't it? Ever read a poem that contained elements of fantasy or faith that you don't believe in, just for literary value??

I agree completely. It's a literary work, like so many others, and quite entertaining! The whole thing is totally absurd. This "teacher" seems to have some very peculiar "issues". I'm just sorry that she managed to upset these poor children right before Christmas, that's the real shame of it all.
