Ban forced religious studies in schools

[jstrodel]

Atheists are free thinkers, meaning they use the legal system to move money around and force people to accept their view of education.

Well, let us say we have religious education in public schools (just for the sake of argument). What beliefs should be taught? Catholicism? Islam? Judaism? Protestantism (if so, which branch?)?
Personally, I think public education should stick to facts (which have a basis in reality), not beliefs.

I am not really sure. Maybe the state should give some sort of subsidy to private schools to set things up their own way. I find it incredibly hypocritical to hear liberals who supposedly love freedom talk about imposing their education on everyone else through taxation and forcing people to accept their philosophy. A free thinker, huh.

Do you really think that modern science is the place to turn for "facts"? The models that science creates, it is debatable whether they actually exist. Religious belief certainly exists as a cultural force. You can see it working in charities around the world that do billions of dollars worth of work, maybe trillions of dollars.
