Sorry, it is not axiomatic.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

OK!...Then it should be **easy** for you to describe a religiously neutral school.

Again the following are only a **few** of the issues you would need to address:

*What days will school events be scheduled so that all students have an equal opportunity to participate and that no godless or God believing student is favored or disfavored? Friday evening? Saturday? Sunday?

*Is the school co-ed or single sex?

*Will the school allow other children to tempt some children with highly fashionable clothing that is proscribed by their religion. Will the girls wear skirts or slacks? Will the boys have short hair or long, and will their faces be shaved or will they wear beards?

*Does the curriculum have a godless or God-centered worldview?

*Which foods will be allowed or disallowed. Will the teachers and other students be permitted to tempt children to eat delicious foods proscribed by their religion?

*Will music and dancing be completely proscribed or allowed. Will some students be allowed to tempt other students with music and dance that is forbidden by their church leaders. What religious music will be allowed or disallowed? Which religious music will be studied in depth, merely mentioned, or completely ignored?

* Will art be permitted or forbidden? What topics will be allowed or disallowed?

*Which theater productions will be allowed, disallowed, or merely mentioned?

It’s still a just a semeatic game trying to paint any expression of thought or idea that is not an explicit affirmation of God as a denial of God. You’re never going to get any support for your idea parading around a litany of loaded questions. If you really want to convince people to condsider your ideas then you need to find some better tactics and reasoning. If you just like hearing yourself prostheletize, then carry on. Right now you just sound like a religious zealot desperatly searching for some martyr status.

I already answered your questions. Are you going to answer mine? The government provides lots of public spaces in which various activities take place--DMVs, jury rooms, libraries, transit vehicles, and more, including schools. Are none of these religiously neutral either? If so, how do you accommodate your beliefs to operating in those areas? If not, why should schools be any different?

Please avoid the other semantic game you play: it's not the schools that are compulsory, it's education.

I could have sworn you asked for some examples of neutral school concepts.

Oh I forgot to mention, there are a few here displaying their BLATANT failed results oriented “issues” associated with their failed godless liberal public school upbringings...

reading incomprehension...

no intelligence allowed...

lockstep marxist tactics and so on...
