RW Christian activists are defying the law and teaching religion in public schools in more rural areas from the way it looks. So if you are in an out of the way area where Christian politicians dominate I bet religion in public school is all over the place.

Learning about other faith traditions would be fascinating.

Christians are right and will go to heaven.
Unless they tolerate Hindus, then those Christians will also go to hell.
End of lesson on comparative religion.
Read chapter two for tomorrow: Christians and Buddhists.

(825 posts)They have a program called "After School Satan" that is introduced in some schools that also have the "Good News" clubs that proselytize children with hell, sin and fire and brimstone evangelicalism.
As a religion, they have legal standing to sue when their programs are not allowed.
Look them up.

(825 posts)I believe they have a case in Missouri where a member was forced to submit to waiting period and ultrasound before having an abortion. TST contends these restrictions violated her religious beliefs.
TST has 7 basic tenets and they put forth in the suit which ones were violated.
Again look them up.
BTW: I was called annabanana as a child.

Good course... I remember reading all of the opinions (both majority and dissent) even now.
I would have made a good legal scholar, except I hate lawyers.

Frasier: I hate lawyers.
Niles: I do, too, but they make wonderful patients. They have great insurance and they never get any better.

(6,930 posts)I took it for a credit, and I ended up enjoying it. The teacher was a true believer, but not a proselytizer. I would have no problem with religion classes. Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and etc. I am not a religious person, but I am open to spirituality.
