It could be explained to the atheists that it is impossible for the government to resolve this in a religiously neutral manner. To be completely religiously neutral the schools would have to be shut down. Let the atheists pay for their **own** religiously NON-neutral godless schools. Within the week the Christian and Jewish children would have education programs organized by their churches and synagogues. The atheists would be out of luck.

If the children are forbidden to see the the movie all the children are being taught that Christmas is somehow shameful and must hidden out of public view ( like a bathroom activity).

It the children do see the movie, those who do go will inevitably subject the atheist children to a movie review of how great it was.

Neither is neutral in content or consequences and this is true for **thousands** of curriculum and school policy decisions in which a binary action must be taken.

When government supports school it always **establishes** non-neutral religious worldview. At the moment the atheists are winning.
