Are you kidding?! Freedom of religion is a cornerstone of this country, this freedom-loving country. We need to respect freedom, and endorse it; not the opposite!
As for whether or not the earth is hollow, they hide that information in books. Amazing what one can learn when they read a book.

Continental Congress
On Sept. 11, 1777 approved the import of 20,000 copies of the Holy Bible, in response to the shortage caused by the Revolutionary War.
"The use of the Bible is so universal and its importance so great that your committee refers the above to the consideration of Congress, and if Congress shall not think it expedient to order the importation of types and paper, the Committee recommends that Congress will order the Committee of Commerce to import 20,000 Bibles from Holland, Scotland, or elsewhere, into the different parts of the States of the Union. Whereupon it was resolved accordingly to direct said Committee of Commerce to import 20,000 copies of the Bible."

Our Founding Fathers opened the first Congress in prayer and the first Congress approved importing or printing 20,000 Bibles and now, revisionist and activist judges tell us we cannot let children pray in school or read Bible stories. What a shame. Our first law regarding public education in this country was written
to teach our children to read the Bible.
It was called Ye Ol Deluder - Satan Law.
I am from Muhlenberg County Kentucky, which is named after Gen. Peter Muhlenberg, seen here in this statue inside the U.S. Capitol!
Peter Muhlenberg Statue
U.S. Capitol
"In January of 1776, Muhlenberg sent word for his congregation to gather for his farewell sermon. Ascending his familiar pulpit, he preached from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. The sermon glowed throughout with devoted patriotism as the man of God told his people of his own resolve to fight and, if need be, to die for his country. He closed his message with these words: "In the language of holy writ, there is a time for all things, a time to preach and a time to pray, but the time for me to preach has passed away." Then in a voice that re-echoed through the church like a trumpet blast, he exclaimed, "And there is also a time to fight, and that time has now come." After pronouncing the benediction,
Muhlenberg threw off his clerical gown and stood before his people in full military uniform. Stepping down the aisle, he ordered the drums at the door to beat for new recruits. The whole village gathered at the church to learn what strange event had turned a quiet church meeting into a scene of bustle and excitement."
Christians should be interested in winning souls for Christ but also preserving our heritage and the political environment that many of our forefathers fought and died for so that our religious institutions could flourish.

Amazing what one can learn when they read a book.Amazing what one can learn without reading a book, too. Not only so, but it is amazing how many books misrepresent the facts. Who ever reads a book and accepts its declarative statements as true without verifying the propositions lives by faith that the propositions are true.
A child's story begins with the words "There once was an ugly duckling." Is that statement one of fact, or one of fiction, or both? How do we know for sure which answer is best rooted in reality?
