Yeah, from what I've come to understand, back then, the schools were afraid to talk about religion not because it was illegal or offensive to atheists, but because Christian denominations were all so divided that they would have stepped on someone's toes.  Say or do something that supports Catholicism and the Baptists get all pissy about it.  Acknowledge Methodists and the Jehovah's Witnesses get butthurt over it.  Talk about Joseph Smith or Mormons at all and, well, all the other denominations throw a fit.  

Then, some more pragmatic, politically minded church leaders managed to merge the churches into their America-first forms.  Suddenly, instead of being divided by denomination, they're united under the group flag "Christian."

Thank goodness for this fracturing of Christianity. If not for that, they could have altered the USA Constitution to the point of turning this into a true, Christian nation.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
