"I don't agree with your interpretation that "freedom of religion" means "freedom from religion". If the Constitution doesn't allow religion in schools, why are the schools teaching religion?"

It means "freedom from the imposition of a particular religious doctrine". The schools are NOT teaching religion, no matter how hard you yell your message that the study of the natural processes in biology is a "religion". It just ain't so.

"That's been reported from several polls that were posted here on FR"

Cite one. And don't just cite the paraphrased interpretation that someone typed; cite the source of the poll.

You didn't read all of my post that you responded to. My children have taken world religion classes in school. I consider that "teaching religion" despite whatever you might think.

Why don't you quit pestering me and look for yourself?

Now you've gone and made me do it anyway.

Here is a larger Harris poll with typical results. Although it doesn't show the portion of the popoulation attending church, it does show that 90% of respondents believe in God.

I have no comment to the 31% who believe in astrology. ;)

I stated this: "Nothing in the Constitution prevents religion from being taught in any public school. Classes on Christianity, Islam, Judiasm et al are neither proscribed by the Constitution nor by the Oligarchy."

And you tell me that a couple of hundred years of case law argues against that statement and point me to Wikipedia.

Evidently, you are clueless in Seattle or wherever it is you hail from.

The statement I made is not arguable, it is truth.
