Why...almost as if he doesn't exist at all, eh Drippy? Keep pursuing that line of thought. Maybe in a thousand years you'll figure out how badly you have been conned.

In a word, no.

Will... muslims? jews? hindus? buddhists? Shall we kick out all non-christian influences on this matter?

Not a single mention of God, Christian, Catholic, Protestant, Baptist, Methodist, Mormon, Secular, or Atheist. One mention of Religious on page 199:
Lol, so you and Cap'in believe Christian schools don't mention God?

Since the words "christian" and "catholic" do not appear even once in the document you linked, I'm assuming that YOU'RE assuming all the private schools listed in the document are Catholic schools. Which is untrue, but Catholic schools are private schools.

But I already covered that point on top of this page. It has absolutely nothing to do with "keeping God in the school". Especially since not all private schools in the US are religiously affiliated. Your point is invalid.

Next!

Personally I'm all in favour of keeping "God" in school. In fact, the guy has such serious learning issues, I'd bung him in one of those special classes for kids with particularly severe problems.

On his own, of course. Don't want him holding all the other kids back.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
