"That’s the same argument that atheists use to question God’s existence."
Except God is outside of nature, scientists are not.

I'd like to address this:
"The issue really is why don’t Christians want Christianity included in schools."
As a Christian, why don't I want Christianity included in public schools?

If Christianity was a mandated course in a public school, there is no guarantee that it wouldn't be taught by an Atheist.
Chances are that Christianity would be distorted and as a whole, would be worse off than if it had not been taught at all.
(Wolf guarding the sheep?)

The future is Private Christian schools, charter schools, and home schooling.

Government run schools are a failure and need to be shut down.

A note for the legalists: I am not addressing the Constitutional aspect of this issue, so don't come unglued.

Why do Christians allow only atheist teachers?

Why do Christians allow only atheists to control public schools?

We make up 85% of the electorate. We should be able to do whatever we want.

Instead, we waste all our energy playing word games so a few hucksters like Kent Hovind and Michael Behe get to be multi-millionaires.

God CREATED nature, so I suspect HE could be inside it, outside it, within it, in....out....back in...back out before a small human mind knew what hit it.

Nope, the future is for citizens to retake their govt, their schools and indeed get govt out of schools, that much I agree with.

UNobjective godless liberals have attempted to stomp Christianity out of the public realm to “put it where it belongs” and have succeeded to a great degree, but they’ve simply gone way too far.

IF ANYTHING, godless lunatic liberals offended and/or angry at God should be the ones paying for both public and private schools.

The Michael Newdow’s angry at God are in the vast minority and their days of hijacking our legal system are no longer going unchallenged.

It’s not at all about “mandated” public Christianity, it’s about freedom from censorship. Period.

When God was welcomed in schools, etc., we didn’t have these problems.

Coaches freely prayed before football games,

and the mere word ‘Christmas’ wasn’t sooooo terribly “offensive” that the Georgia ACLU threatend our school board to remove it from the school calendar or be sued.

It’s preposterous, Americans know it and a few are now putting a stop to such nonsense:
