How does someone teach atheism without explaining theism first ? this is a guise, what they really teach is the occult otherwise known as "New Age" and the last time this was preached at schools was in Nazi Germany. go figar

Wow...I guess this would be the expected response from a certain frame of thought. One doesn't "teach atheism". The kids don't even need to bother with the word as it is simply the lack of belief. If they are taught critical thinking at a young age, the idea of "theism" will just be viewed as it rightly should be-A distraction from ratinoal thought. Don't confuse Atheists with some retro-hippie...far from it. Sitting around meditating and getting in touch with "inner-selves" it not a practice you'll find ANY atheist involved in.

It's just summer-camp for kids...with a focus on critical thinking instead of a focus on accepting imposed dribble of the religious sort that is common to "church camps".
