So we FINALLY get down to it. You aren't really areligious, you are anti-religion. Well, guess what? Freedom of religion does mean freedom from relgioin and definitley not extend to give religion haters the power to suppress other religions. And no matter how much you hate it, we are STILL a nation of mostly Christians.

Give us the money that OUR taxes are being forced from us to spend on failed public schools where homosexuality is being promoted as good and taht peopel came from monkeys and the vast majority of us will be all too happy to send our children to private schools and we will "leave everybody else alone".

Not at all. I find some religious people to be endlessly unsufferable, but I generally find all the various religions and belief systems to be fascinating. I don't think any of them are true, but the subject is very interesting.

Well, guess what? Freedom of religion does mean freedom from relgioin and definitley not extend to give religion haters the power to suppress other religions.

I don't support suppressing any religion. If someone wants to practice their religious beliefs, I'm all for it. Just don't get the government to do it for you or use public funds, and you can perfomr all the religious activity you want.

And no matter how much you hate it, we are STILL a nation of mostly Christians.

I don't hate it. It is merely a demographic fact to me. And yet that fact does not mean that Christianity is, or has a right to be, in a privilidged or superior place in the public and governmental arena over any other religion or non-religion.

As a citizen, I think that you have a civic obligation to provide education to all the children of the US. You can choose to not send your kids there, that's your prerogative, but you still have the civic duty to contribute to the general education of the next generation of citizens.

And if you have issues with the curriculum regarding homosexuals, then I'd suggest getting involved and trying to find a way to change it to make it more palatable to you. (But since we want educated children, and not ignorant children, we will have to teach them evolution and none of this creationist or ID crap. That you're just going to have to live with.)
