if the atheist doesn't like religion in school then they are free to build their own, create their own curriculum, reruit their own teachers and students.
Um... what? And it's unfair to force delusional religious ideas onto intelligent people who do not want it.
I can't even reply to this because it is so stupid. We already have our own schools and curriculum. Religion is trying to force itself into it. If THEY don't like the current system, then THEY need to go somewhere else.
I couldn't even reply to it the first time I read it. I was laughing too hard. Apparently this person thinks that his or her religion is the only version of the only religion around. He or would shit a brick if the wrong religious thing were taught in school. There is a reason why church and state are separate.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
