ParticipantIn that case, I bestow upon you the final summary of this thread in film form:

BTW Dan, you need to get with it. “Jump the shark” has jumped the shark, the new term of choice is “nuked the fridge.”

Participant[quote=jstoesz]If you want to keep religion from people, you are as much a fascist as someone who wants to push it on someone. Stop making government take a side on the issue, and we will have a true separation. Ambivalence is the solution not prohibition.[/quote]
No one is keeping religion from you. You can learn religion in church. If anything, government is promoting religion by giving religious institutions tax exempt status. As an atheist I am offended by that, yet somehow you are the one being oppressed?
Using your logic I could claim that the government is preventing me from enjoying the game of billiards because they don’t teach it in schools.
Explain to me how government is keeping religion from people? Can you give one example?

Participantjstoesz, you are associating no-religion-in-schools as being the same thing anti-religion. They are not the same. How is not teaching creationism in school a “weapon against religion?” You can learn creationism in your church. The government does not prevent that. If they did, perhaps you would have an argument.
Secular humanism is based on the observable universe in which we live. Religion is based on belief and faith. Faith has no place in education. I’m curious, would you be OK with non-Christian creation myths being taught in school? Perhaps some Native American, Aztec, etc stories on where we come from? Which creation myths would you teach and why?
