Bob, I am a little late coming to the discussion, but aren't you just talking about such things as no longer having public prayer in school?

Maybe you live in a lily-white Protestant community, but where I live (Fairfax County, VA) there are so many different nationalities that I believe there are like 50 different languages spoken by school-age children in their homes. I can't tell you the number of religions, and will content myself with stating with assurance that Christian, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, and Jewish are not the only ones, by a long shot. How can all of these children's religions be accommodated during public prayer?

E. keeps suggesting teaching religion as a social science, I can't think of any other way, unless you think that the tax-payer funded school system should impose observation of Christianity on all these non-Christian children, and I am sure you don't want that.
