<<<I understand why you object to them. But should you be allowed to prohibit children (or parents or teachers or legislators) who want them in the classroom from having them there?>>> You continue to decline to tell me whether you should be allowed to prohibit children (or parents or teachers or legislators) who want Mill, Bentham and Hume in the classroom, a list of their precepts posted behind the teacher, from having them there alongside of 'God's' 'Commandments.' <<<BTW, the 1st Amendment guarantees "free exercise of religion." It does NOT guarantee free exercise of aethism unless you are prepared to admit that aethism is a religion.>>> Christopher, tell me that this was being playful, and not that you are prepared, seriously, to deprive me of equal rights to 'exercise' atheism -- my approach to the concept of a 'God' -- on those grounds. As for 'admitting' atheism is a religion, as long as we have the definitions clear, I'll admit it is a cactus. So let's say I 'admit' that both theism and atheism are cactuses, or that both are religions... now will you allow me the same rights of 'exercise' as you would claim for yourself? Or still not.
