To start, I decided to put this thread in politics as it realtes to constitutional rights, where "politics" seemed to be a good place to ask.
If I am in the wrong, I would like an Admin to move my thread.
Thanks.
I live in NE Texas in a heavy bible belt area and religion is everywhere. I mean everywhere.
In fact, it has even invaded my school.
In my highschool whose name I will not disclose, there are quotes lining the walls, most though provoking, others insperational, but there are a few that relate to the bible, speaking of it as a source of knowledge and such. It even goes so far as to give a couple verses of deuteronomy, if memory serves.
So I guess my question is-
Is this a violation of the first amendment?
Is my school emphasising a religion over another or perhaps a religion over nonreligion?
If yes, how should I deal with this? Who should I complain to and how?
Thank you for any answers you provide.

My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
