Allowing isn't mandating. But that's not good enough for the God haters. They consider allowing to be equivalent to mandating, which it's not, and will sue anyone who wants to exercise their Constitutional right to the free exercise of their religion into silence. Free exercise for me but not for thee.
It's promotion of one faith over another through the use of taxpayer dollars, which is unconstitutional. You are compelling non-Christian taxpayers to pay for Christian proselytizing.
What's actually happening is that you are compelling Christian taxpayers to pay for non-Christian proselytizing. It's promotion of one faith over another through the use of taxpayer dollars, which is unconstitutional.
The problems are that:
1) Atheists think and preach that atheism is neutral as far as religion is concerned and it's not. There can be no neutral position when there's only two sides to an issue. There's either God, or there's not. Either one is a belief system. Suppressing one is only giving the other a monopoly.
2)Atheists who suppress theists because they don't want someone forcing their views on them, sure don't seem to have any problem forcing their atheism on others just because they think they're right. Well, I think that I'm right so why I shouldn't I have it my way instead? Why should they have preference? Are they better than me or equal? What makes them think they should have favored status?
So we have the removal of Christmas break from the school calendar and have the atheist holiday of Winter Recess. Same with Easter and Spring break.
All in a nation based on the Judeo-Christian heritage; the same heritage that gives the atheists their rights in the first place. And then they spit in the face of those very people who gave them the right to follow their non-belief freely by using that very freedom those Christians gave them to take away the rights of other Christians.
Talk about ingratitude.
Besides, the whole premise that evolution is "non-Christian proselytizing" is ridiculous. My son goes to public school in one of the most secular cities in the country. I asked him if his life sciences teachers, in the section on evolution, ever said anything about evolution's implication about the existence of God. He looked at me like I was crazy and said, "Of course not." I think all this fretting about evolutionists promoting anti-God propaganda in the schools is so much self-pitying twaddle.
Which I oppose- schools should not be teaching that there is no god, any more than they should be teaching that any god exists. An atheist teacher using class time to preach his views on religion is as unconstitutional as a Christian teacher trying to convert his students.
Schools should simply be religion neutral- the only time religion should be brought up is in the context of relevant classroom subject matter.
