Why is it that when state-sponsored displays and endorsements of Christianity are rightfully struck down as unconstitutional, Christians invariably scream that atheists are imposing their religious beliefs on them??? You can go to church every day and pray as much as you want!!! No atheist disputes that right!!!

You assume I am arguing this because of my faith. I am not. All I have said is the same reasoning the court used could ban Secular Humanism from schools. Which shows you aren't interested in the constitution, the history of religious freedom or liberty. You don't want God mentioned in school and you don't care how you get the name of God out.

In other words, you are hostile to religious expression and want to censor it.

I don't. Neither did our founders. Doesn't matter to me what religion is mentioned either.

Be careful. Your attitude toward freedom and the constitution has a way of coming back and biting.

I guess it doesn't matter how many times this is explained, but (here goes...)

Nobody wants religion banned from schools. Schools should teach about all kinds of religions, as many as they can fit into the curriculum. There should be moments of silence when students who choose to pray, can. But no particular religion should be endorsed implicitly or explicitly in a public school. If you want your child to attend a religious school, that is your right - you pay for it.

Your last post bordered on an ad-hominem attack on me, which I know wasn't your intent. I can tell that your emotions are taking over.
