Answer 1

one thing i hate is that some people do not realize that the founding fathers intended America to be a christian nation.
I absolutely hate when ppl say "separation of church and state" and take it as "freedom from religion" when tomas Jefferson said "separation of church and state" he meant that Church will not rule government and vice versa. He did not intend that we should remove religion from schools. in fact for the 1st hundred years of America the school books recognized biblical teachings as a necessity. I also detest when schools will not allow prayer "because other children should not be influenced by religion in school" Well atheism is a religion now and it is "the religion of practicing no religion" and yet that seems to be practiced in public schools. OR how about i be mean! Public schools now hand out condoms! But one kid was put in detention for handing out Bibles! Why are the people of this country so stupid now? Because they refuse to accept that America was founded by Christians for Christians.....

Answer 2

1. yes, but in the way the founding fathers intended, state should not interfere with religion

2. Your question is far too broad.

3. It's a good motto.

4. Sure, why not.

5. No, I fail to see how it possibly could.

6. No. Religions other than Christianity worship God.

7. All religions worhip a god, so I don't see that being unfair to anyone.

8. I assume you mean "feel" the same. Totally different things. Darwin's Theory has to do with science, not religion.

9. "thought out the school" ? What does that mean? Did you mean "throughout"? Personally, I see no problem with religion in the public schools. Any religion.

10. There are here, and they're just fine.

Answer 3

1. Yes.
2. ???
3. Yes. It is according to an act of Congress but I personally disagree.
4. No.
5. Technically yes, but the courts allowed vague references.
6. Yes. Either God is an opaque word or it has a very specific meaning. The word can mean anything from an old man in the sky to a metaphor for nature. Many people use the word "God" as the proper name of their faith's deity. "In God We trust" is religious favoritism regardless of the intention.
7. Yes. It's unfair to polytheists, atheists, and people who believe that God has a proper name like Allah or Yaweh or Jesus.
8. Yes. There's nothing to trust. Your example would be pointless It would be like saying "In Einstein's Theory of Relativity We Trust."
9. Religious signs and displays should only be allowed in school if they have an educational purpose, not a religious one. For example an art class might show religious paintings because they're great art, not advance religious belief.
10. Yes. While the government shouldn't sponsor religion, it shouldn't hinder religion either. Voluntary after school religious clubs are a student's right.

Answer 4

1.Do you feel that there should be a separation of church and state? YES

2.Would you agree with general law about religion?WHAT IS THAT?

3.Is “In God We Trust” our national motto?NO

4.Do you think “In God We Trust” should be on U.S. Currency?NO (BUT IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME-I'M ATHEIST)

5.Dose “In God We Trust” violate the First Amendment?HMMM...

6.Does “In God We Trust” favor of force one religion over another? MAYBE

7.Is “In God We Trust” unfair to certain religions?I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT RELIGIONS

8.Would you fill the same if it was “In Darwin’s Theory of Evolution We Trust”(that just one Example)?BOTH SOUND STUPID. IT SHOULD BE BASED ON COMRODERY OF THE UNIDTED STATES, BUT IT STILL WOULDN'T BOTHER ME

9.Should Signs of Religions be thought out the school?WITH THE INTENTION TO ONLY EDUCATE THE STUDENTS ON WHAT THEY ARE AND NOT TO TRY TO CONVET THEM

10.Should there be after school religion clubs? SURE, WHY NOT. (I THINK THERE SHOULD BE MORE JROTC PROGRAMS TOO)

Answer 5

1. Yes
2. ??? Freedom to practice whatever religion.
3. Yes
4. Yes
5. Yes, probably
6. No, not necessarily. Definitely not force, but yes it favors.
7. Yes
8. Yes
9. Public schools yes, private or religious- no
10. Yes, clubs are not required and shouldn't interefere.

That's a really good survey/questionnaire. I am a faithful Christian, but yet I don't believe in forcing my beliefs onto anyone else so some of the questions make you think about the way things are set up in this country. I think prayer, etc should be an option, but not required for school. If you want to participate, they should hold it either before/after school and you can decide whether to go early or stay late. If this is for an assignment, I think your questions are thought provoking, if nothing else.

Answer 6

1. Yes
2. What is the general law about religion?
3. Yes
4. No preference. "In god we trust" doesn't single out any single deity. I'm a buddhist and it doesn't bother me.
5. No. See above.
6. No. See 4.
7. No.
8. No. That just sounds dumb.
9. Not always. It is important for kids to learn about other beliefs and ways of thinking. But once preaching starts, that's where I draw the line (No intelligent design!)
10. There are at my old high school and there are hundreds at my college. As long as they keep to themselves I don't give a damn.

I'm a liberal democrat buddhist for context.

Answer 7

1. yes.
2. yes, everyone should be able to follow their own beliefs.
3. yes, it is.
4. yes, this nation was founded on the Christian religion, whether you like it or not.
5. no, it does not.
6. no.
7. no, most religions believe in a god, although it may have a different name.
8. no, there would be an outrage from many. (Darwin's theory came about after the founding of this nation)
9. depends on what it is. if it's trying to get people to convert or saying the one religion is superior to another, then no.
10. yes, no one is forcing anyone to join. If they want to join, let them go.

Answer 8

1 - no
2 - i dont know it, but i presume it s about free exercise of any religion and not favouring any one in particular, i would agree to that
3 - i dont know, but it could be a good motto if by god it is meant something good - ethical
4 - i dont really care - there is nothing wrong with that, though
5 - no, because all religions can accept it
6 - no, even religions like budhism could accept a belief in a positive cosmic power, atheism and different philosophies are not religions and i see no reason, why anybody would have something against the belief in good
7 - no, because the word god is no name - even satanists have a god
8 - darwins theory is no religion, its a theory - no it would not be the same
9 - yes, inasmuch they are positive (crucifix is too problematic, so it should not be everywhere, but could be in special rooms)
10 - why not? religion teaches morality . u have some better suggestion to keep humanity in a healthy track? of course, religious teachers should necessarily teach tolerance to other religions, though

Answer 9

No it would not The tax exempt prestige is a central authority waiver which must be petitioned meaning that each and each agency is in concept taxable, which does no longer deny the life or operation of the agency in question, ergo the liberty to verify a company/faith is genuine and alive That the government makes a tax exemption and gadgets rules, is it relatively is government prerogative, which does no longer violate the separation of church and state you are able to no longer % this as a discrimination the two. evaluate you have 10 ppl that are in debt with you (TAX) and you place a level by making use of which you will come to a type to pardon the debt (tax exemption) in case you come back to a type to waiver 8 out of 10, it relatively is your business enterprise, you at the instant are not obliged to (i'm unlikely into the very incontrovertible fact that politics can/will impact the selection in awarding tax exempt prestige, yet that may not on the middle of the "separation" question) Btw i do no longer stay in the U. S., in simple terms an ex regulation student Peace Edit I forgot to indicate that "the separation of state & church", is in simple terms an theory that can fluctuate very much from state to state or united states of america to united states of america do no longer fool yourselves, the two have been large fans in the previous, and the two attempt to rule your lives, the church would have been "formally" banned from workplace, yet continues to be the main significant political social gathering. The information is, in all that the Atheists are bitching appropriate to here on YA 24/7,that they had be happy if all ties have been severed Peace

Answer 10

1- Naturally.
2- There could be a few modifications, but I'm just giving generals
3- Currently
4- Doesn't matter to me. It's just money.
5- I don't think so.
6- Not necessarily.
7- All based n perception
8- If we change it, why not just abolish it?
9- Not unless it's a school of religion or based on a specific denomination

For reference, I'm a non-denominational deist
