We have so many children coming from non-christian countries to study in our schools in America. We must introduce them to Christianity and Jesus, the true faith of USA. USA is a Christian nation and athiests have no right to live here or be called as citizens.

I am a Christian and I don't believe they should. If Christian Bible classes are allowed we would have to allow Muslims, Atheists, Hindu's etc also have religious classes. School is about getting an education to prepare students to be productive adults, able to earn a living and support their family. Religious teaching should be done at home by the parents. God has this to say about teaching our children: Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. This is instructions for parents not the school systems.

I'm not sure I'd want the very secular, liberal school system in charge of teaching the Bible to my kids. Understanding God's word is more than just reading...it is an understanding on a spiritual level.
Additionally, teaching the Bible in schools, would then require that all religious books for all religions also be taught. You'd have the Book of Mormon, the Quran, the Torah...all having to be offered. I think it could get ugly!
Also, there would be interpretation issues to deal with etc.
I think the idea is plausible, but it would have to be an elective and something you'd have to sigh your kid up for...it couldn't be mandatory in this day and age.

As an atheist, and in light of the tremendous success American public schools have had with teaching our kids geography and science, I am 100% in favor of your idea.
Oh, almost forgot. Since I'm responding to a thumper, I must include this SARCASM ALERT. One more thing. No matter how many times you repeat the lie that this is a christian nation, it is still a lie. This is a secular nation, inhabited by a majority who proclaim themselves christian, but the constitution was written to protect minorities from the tyranny of the majority. Boo-hoo for you-hoo.

Why do you have to be so intolerant? It's people like yourself that make this world a hateful place. Perhaps a little acceptance on your part would do some good instead of think forcing children to learn about christianity in school will do anything but create resentment and opposition from a whole lot of people.

Wouldn't you want to save the Athiests as much as the people with religious beliefs different from the Christians?
Or do you want to just hate Athiets?
So since the majority of the nation is Christian, it is ok to kick everyone who is not Christian out?

Sure, as long as we also teach the Pagan belief system so they are familiar with what Christianity killed so many people over. And then we would need to teach them to hate all those that are not Christian and how to burn books, ban movies and "unapproved" reading material, how to have an effective witch hunt, how to tell if someone has the "devil" in them and last but certainly not least, how to truly be "holier than thou". Great idea!

I am not in favor. Mandatory Bible classes in public schools would violate the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution. I'd be the first one in Court to get have that policy banned. Sorry.

I am not aware of any article of the Constitution that bars people based on faith. In fact, the forefathers of this country insisted there be a separation of church & state, primarily because those who came here were escaping religious persecution. Are you any different than the Muslim family who sentenced their daughter to death (this month in England)because she converted to Chrisianity? Is that the law now, religious freedom, but only if you belong to my religion?

Mandatory Bible classes? You are not a Christian if you say this. Offering information basic information that people can use to fight widespead ignorance is about all we really want.

"the true faith of USA"
You are silly
"the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion"
George Washington-Treaty of Tripoli
"Strongly guarded. . . is the separation between religion and government in the Constitution of the United States." Madison
Jefferson suggested a wall between church and state...
Our constitution was designed to challenge the idea of divine sanction.
