**Religion has no place in schools, nor in government. I don't care what
people pray to, as long as they do not inflict their oddball beliefs on
children. That is nothing less than child abuse. The test for religion
should roughly the same as what it is for any consumer product, or
service: Prove it, or withdraw the claim (and the advertising). Simple.


Right
Children should be brainwashed with Trevor's religion of atheism, instead.
Parents who teach their kids religion are even worse than the one's
who take the kiddies to Mc Donlad's.

**It's a toss-up. Both are very bad for children. There is no need to teach
children atheism. There is no need to teach children ANY religion. However,
I would argue, that for the sake of balance, children should be taught about
all religious beliefs. I have no major problem with such things, as an
academic pursuit. It's all the gobbledegook and mysticism that is dangerous.
Children aren't taught about Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Astrology and
Numerology. There's no need to portray religious beliefs as anything more
logical than those things.
