Posted: Nov 15th, 2017 - 10:10 am In Reply to: Church and state just means that the govt cannot set up - religion. Our schools originally did

biology, etc. Back when schools were started, we had a majority, if not all, Christians in this country. Now we have a variety of religions, so would you agree that schools should teach about all these religions? We live in a different world than we did when schools first came about so things had to change. If you want to teach your kids about religion I would suggest you teach them or send them to a religious school. Times have changed.

I happen to be a Christian, but I don't think it is right to force my beliefs on atheists, Muslims, Scientologists, Hindus or anybody who believes differently than me and I certainly don't send my kid to school to learn religion.
