But the Constitution is not supposed to be interpreted through opinion polls. Whether or not it is Constitutional to use public resources to advance religion is not an issue that is decided at the ballot box (unless through a Constitutional amendment).
If I lived in a country where the majority religion was not the one I practiced, I would not expect them, nor demand of them, to rearrange their culture and society for me.
It depends on the country. In a Constitutional republic like ours, cultural and societal practices have to give way to the Constitution. Segregation, for example, was something that was the cultural, societal and religious norm in many parts of this country. But it was an unconstitutional practice, regardless.
Atheists can teach their own children that there is no God on their own time outside of school. We don’t need to have the school teaching it. That’s the parents responsibility to teach their beliefs to their children.
That's an incredibly inconsistent position on your part- you're basically arguing that it is proper for the schools to teach the religious views of whoever is the majority in a given community. Your only objection seems to be that you do not like the religious views that you believe are currently being taught in schools.
Your position misses the point of the 1st Amendment- it is unconstitutional to use public money and resources to teach ANY religious view- whether theistic or atheistic.

>>>>>>Hijacking the law to censor Christians is nowhere in the Constitution either. Just because we say God Bless you in public doesn’t mean we’re “advancing our religion” on the public.
One might think this is funny or stupid but we’ve seen stores bend to the political correct “hppy holidays” in fear of “offending” someone because they said “Merry Christmas”!
Let me ask you:
Do you favor the minority few like say Michael Newdow to impose his godless views on society to remove Under God in the pledge to suit HIS own worldview?
How about the ALCU forcing a school board to remove the word Christmas from the school calendar?
