Ban forced religious studies in schools

[Esquilax]

What is wrong with people going to the kind of schools that match their worldview, and the state simply paying for the part that agrees with a general curriculum. I think a general education like you have said is useful.

The fact is that a state education is imposing its own philosophy on people, though it may not be explicitly religious, it still has its own faith. Why should people be forced to pay for that faith?

After school Bible study is totally different than a rigorous schooling that exists. I don't see how anyone with a clear conscience can support imposing their philosophy on others and call themselves a free thinker at the same time.

People should be able to use their educational tax dollars as they see fit. Atheists should not have to pay for religious education, neither should religious people have to pay for atheistic or liberal education.

If you can, detail to us all exactly what this atheistic of liberal philosophy that is being imposed entails. So far you're just said that it exists but you haven't so much as hinted at what it might be. And just for the record, the absence of your specific faith doctrine is not a philosophy on its own.
