What percentage of Christians want God back in schools?

Answer 1

100%!

Answer 2

I was raised Methodist. No I do not want God back in schools. Are you people so illogical that you don't realize that you can teach morals without teaching religion? Come on now. I am fully supportive of teaching children moral lessons in schools, but teaching religion? No, absolutely not. I always felt silly even as a child, performing these weird religious rituals - so believing in Santa when you are 15 years old is foolish, but praying to some rather morbid picture of a guy on a cross isn't? I prefer to be spiritual in my OWN way. I express my spirituality by standing up for what's right, and doing things to help people. Did you people every think that if instead of going to church on Sundays and sitting around for a couple hours, you actually went out and HELPED someone, that this world might be a better place? Less talk, more action ok?

Answer 3

God back in the schools is not the problem, it is God back in the country. Especially America has fallen from a Nation under God, to almost a Sodom and Gemorra. I don't see how America could get much farther away from God. Making it illegal to have prayer in the schools. Even a moment of silent prayer, what would be wrong with that . But at the same time prayer is taken out of schools, They teach Darwinism and such theories to deceive children into thinking man was evolved from monkeys, what a joke! If man evolved from monkeys why are there still monkeys left that did not evolve.
But you have a good question . You almost need a public survey to find that answer.But even so , I think it is much better to have church schools or home school, where the parents are in charge of what their children learn. Because these days you don't know who( as far as religious background) will teach your child and what they will teach.

Answer 4

Religion doesn't belong in schools, it belongs in the home. It should be mandatory that any parent, claiming to be Christian, have a complete knowledge of the Bible and study it regularly with their children. In doing so, they would not have to worry about what the children are learning in school. Unfortunately, with the exception of maybe one church, parents are not taught the complete Bible, or how to teach it, instead telling the parents to send the children to Sunday Schools, to just learn Bible Stories.

Answer 5

I do want God back in school.

I would think that the community could donate religious teachers to schools for an hour a day; in ex-change for use of the building. This would allow each community to get their religion. Say, a Jewish child wanted live in a community; well his Rabbi could then voluneteer to teach this student. Christain's could also donate time from their Ministers/ Ministers wives ... Preists ... Budists could offer classes by their chosen specilist ... etc ... and the parents would request this of their church allowing demographics to swich each year by demand.

Answer 6

A much smalle rpercentage than the pools show.
Even the most faithful christians realize that if religion is allowed in school than it will open the doors for all religions otbne in school including withc craft, islam, hindu, buddism, and about 500 others,

Answer 7

The percentage in the United States is shockingly high. Hopefully, though, it'll never happen.

By that I mean Bible reading and prayer and all of that. I'm totally in favor of a world religions class, but ALL religions should be discussed. And also, there's a difference between education and instruction. What a lot of Christians want is instruction, and THAT, like the first poster said, is unconstitutional.

Christianity in science class is even worse. I hope the day never comes when we start allowing unprovable, untestable, unobservable material into our schools' science class.

Answer 8

When you read answers to questions like this you get an insight into how pervasive the Christian cancer really is-given half a chance it will spread its tentacles first into schools then into the political institutions of the nation-never allow it to happen.

Answer 9

I sure hope all!
I don't mind a Hindu a Budest a Jew or any one elts praying right along side or a Kid painting instead because he doesn't believe in a God, but we need our kids to start believing in some thing!
Are you Atheists so insecure that if your kids are exposed to Christianity that they'll turn? That is your job. I see no reason for a kid to be punished for saying any thing about or singing about God.

Answer 10

A very high percentage.

Answer 11

I am not christian and I'm not american. But what I can say is that removing religion in school is encouraging an atheist or faithless society and though I'm quite undecided about what to believe, yet I think religion can do no harm in the contrary would teach kids some morals.
