...the country was a better place when there was strong focus on it...

I can't agree more; however, this can never sponsored by the government because that clearly violates the Constitution. That separation was for very good reasons, which should be obvious to anyone who studied history up to the colonization of America. Look at the bloodshed in England alone. The Founders KNEW religion is a private matter and not a public matter.

Please concentrate your efforts toward returning parents to the church and taking responsibility for the Spiritual welfare of their children. DO NOT place that into the hands of people you do not know and have already earned your distrust. I am quite sure that I would not want my children's religious views tainted even by other denominations allegedly of the Christian Faith, let alone a Muslim.

“Look at the bloodshed in England alone.”

I’m familiar. My ancestor was the last martyr to be burned at the stake in England in 1612 for religious reasons.

Nothing about separation of church and state in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, etc. And, as I said, religion wasn’t taught in school but it allowed students to go to their respective churches if their parents wanted them to.

There is NOT a “state church”; that is in the founding documents.
