Would you support an amendment to the bill to allow the teaching atheism in the schools as an alternative to religious belief? Both, after all, can be nicely supported by evidence and reasoned argument. Why should kids be prisoners of their parents' prejudice and superstition?

Would you support an amendment to the bill to allow the teaching atheism in the schools as an alternative to religious belief?

Would you be so kind as to post the relevant passages "allowing" violation of the "establishment clause'?

I want that course taught in Sunday School. If the anti-science crowd wants religion taught in science class, I cannot be satisfied until atheism is taught in church.

Or maybe, we could just leave science for science class, and religion for church or religion class.

I'll try to find the quote, but it was by a professor stating pretty much the same thing - they target the children of "fundamentalist" parents and hammer their indoctrination at them until they "come around".
