So how is "I am 100% for removing religious education that teaches one religion as true and others as false" compatible with any idea of freedom or equal playing fields?
Of course you've advocated it: the suppression of religious education. You're clearly not just arguing that atheists should be able to choose not to teach religion (who would be doing that anyway?) as FatAndFaithless thought you might be saying. You are clearly advocating the removal (suppression) of religious education. That's such a clear and classical case of atheist totalitarianism, totally at odds with any libertarian ideals.
