Now that we agree to not mix it in, let's educate our children in everything else except religion (unless you plan to teach about every single religion to be fair).
The trouble with some Christian denominations is they see secularism as an enemy world view. What they fail to realize is that what we have is just what you've described here. We as a nation take religion so seriously that we were founded in such a way as to allow all groups to be able to pursue it in their own way. Secularism is not an alternative to Christianity, it is the guarantor of each and every denomination's ability to practice as they see fit.

How is secular ideology against your religious beliefs?
