I favor the right to personal prayer anywhere. I don't really care much whether schools have formal official prayers at those events.

Do you want religious symbols on display in public places?
I want individuals to be able to display such if they wish. For example, if someone wants to put a Christmas or whatever display in a park, fine with me. If a judge wants to hang the Ten Commandments on his wall, thats okay too. If a teacher wants to wear a crucifix, thats okay.

People have had problems doing those things though unfortunately.

The important issue is religious expresssion (like prayer) or display of personal religious articles (crosses on a necklace or pictures on a wall) shouldn't be banned from public.

Do you want Creationism (ID) taught in public schools?

Creationism, no. As for ID, I don't have strong feelings about this but it would probably be good to teach that the ID hypothesis exists and that atheism is not a scientific finding.

We have a century's worth of experience that shows it doesn't matter what they teach.
