Some people have been bringing up the conflicting idea that religion should have nothing to do with school. Do you agree?
I find it pointless, as long as no one is forced into going to a christian club, or any activities related to religion in school. Is there really harm from that?

Why does any religious group need to do anything in a public building or in school? There can be only one reasonable answer and that is they have an agenda to get their religion in the public schools.
During a religious show the other day, a preacher said that less than 15% of children change to christianity if they are 15 and older when they receive the message. But 85% change to christianity if they are taught before the age of 15.
Do not fall for their prostestations of innocence. They know that brainwashing works best with a young mind.

yes, if you view the big picture--clubs like that look good on college applications, if the school supports only christian clubs, they are screwing over, and screwing up the futures of children of all other faiths, and detrimentally affecting a child's future education is actually worse than forcing their participation in a prayer or ceremony from a religion they don't agree with

As a pagan, I don't want my children FORCED to do anything religious... Christian or otherwise. However, we live in a Christian society and I find it just as arrogant and obnoxious on the part of non-Christians to demand banning Christian activities, as I do Christians demanding all other religions cater to them. All I ever request is tolerance on the part of everyone involved.

considering the fact that religious colleges could be slightly selective who they permit in, they are actually not likely to settle for the form of ineducable little scrotes popped out on the cost of one each 9 months by utilising single mothers on council estates who've by no capacity carried out an afternoon's artwork of their lives, who in turn be able to injury the acceptable efforts of overworked instructors. This harsh obviety, nonetheless, is by no capacity suggested. The message that gets despatched out is that a non secular college provides a greater acceptable training. It in all probability does, yet *not* with the aid of fact it rather is religious ..... incredibly, with the aid of fact there are actually not any incorrigible little brats going around bullying different childrens, disrupting instructions and frequently screwing it up for honestly everyone else. i think of it rather is time for an test. set up some "humanist colleges", run alongside a similar lines as latest faith colleges which consists of permitting a similar form of decision approaches, and learn their GCSE and A-point consequences with different faith colleges and regular colleges. My wager is, the humanist colleges will gain consequences no worse than the acceptable Jewish or Roman Catholic colleges.

Christian clubs and extra-curricular activities are fine, as long as they follow the same rules and restrictions as every other curricular activity, and that all other religions are granted the same access.

Yes -- there is harm in that. There is harm in promoting a state sponsored religion.
There are places in this country where almost all of the school children are Christians. There may be pressure on those who do not want to join this club to join it anyway. There will be lots of pressure on the occasional non-Christian student at the school who may feel excluded.
To me, having a Christian group at a public school is not different than having a White Supremacist group at the same school.
Yes -- there is harm.

You can have a christian club, as long as you don't prohibit a satanist club, or a club that worships and teaches the inivisible pink unicorn that rules the world.

I disagree. For the people with faith, it is extremely important to them. It is their life and beliefs. For the Athesists, does it really matter if there are a group of kids who meet after or before school? It doesn't effect them unless they choose to join and attend things. I absolutely find nothing wrong with it in schools. There are way more problems with banning it.

I don't think that creationism should be taught in school, but I could care less about a Christian club.
