Your question makes no sense. Forget 'religens' -- concentrate on English and writing.

You can. Don't you Christian students ever read anything for yourselves? Do you rely entirely on the ignorant gossip of your peers for your facts? Why does a confirmed atheist have to explain to you that there's no law and no reason you can't bring your own Bible to school? You're also free to pray as much as you like, just not aloud while the teacher is trying to conduct class. You're even free to pray in groups, on your own time, like lunch hour, so long as you're not so loud that you cause a disruption. Because many Americans are not Christians, there are three simple things you cannot do: You cannot have a tax-paid teacher lead the prayers. You cannot make prayer participation mandatory for all students. You cannot display religious material (like the Ten Commandments) within the confines of a tax-supported facility. That's easy enough to understand, isn't it? Frankly, it baffles me why you Christians are so obsessively compelled to imagine yourselves as persecuted. Wake up and enjoy the privilege of living in a free country!!
When I was in High School (before the M.M. O'Hair decision) roving gangs of Christian boys frequently beat up on any non-Christians they could find, even teachers. Hopefully, now that open prayer is permitted again, you good Christians can keep the evil ones among you under better control.

Because the conservatives rule America with an iron fist...
is that what you want to hear?
Only kidding.
The thing is, there are many valid reasons. Conflicting religious beliefs could cause bullying among children, religions such as Islam need a lot of time to pray that school can't necessarily permit, etc.

One, you can be any religion you want in school. You just cant force others to be your religion. There is no rule against you taking our bible to school. It is not legal for the teacher to teach that the bible is correct. That is left up to your parents and churches. In fact, you can also pray in school. Again, you cannot coerce anyone else to pray. What is wrong with indivicual prayer. Why do Christians need to force their book and their religion and their prayers on others.

If you were to get off your pity horse and do some research, you'd know that you can take any religious text you like to school and practice any religion you choose provided you are a)not causing disruption, and b) interfering with anyone else's right to do the same.

You can bring your bible to school. No law prevents this. It is only illegal for a public school to lead the class in prayer. I don't understand what is confusing about this, or who informed you that your freedom of religion was somewhat limited, but you were misinformed.

You can. There is no law anywhere that states that you can't bring a bible to school. The only law is that discussion can't be teacher-led. Students can pray or talk about God or church or the Bible whenever they want. (and I do)

So we're going to support ALL religions in public schools? I don't think so. If you want religion in your school, go to a private school. I have no issue with you carrying your bible around school or gather at school. But I don't want my tax dollars funding religion classes at public schools. Who's religion are they going to teach? Are we going to fund Jewish, Muslim, Budist classes to? I'm Catholic, are you going to teach Catholicism or another varient of christianity?
I had religion and bibles in my schools-- I went to Catholic school.
Teaching religion in public schools is the gov establishing religion and that's against the constitution.

You can actually have your Bible at school. The schools, though, can not force kids to read them or pray. Schools are for everyone, not just Christians.
