Promoting atheism in schools would lower the murder rate? You do like to be intentionally obtuse and really dumb things down. the understandable offshoot of your one-pointed purpose to work the words "atheism" or "liberal" into your byline but it just doesnt work that way except for minor propaganda purpose. The easiest & most direct way to deal with the controversy would be to have religion- ALL religions--to be taught in schools, so we can understand the nature of religion as a natural phenomenon . Just as human consciousness & free will are the result of physical processess but of an order of much higher complexity & evolved organization, above what we normally think they are. Just as we have moved far beyond the earliest simple conceptualizing of of an Earth & Man centered cosmos with its perfect heavenly stars orbiting us above , to the true order of the complex eliptical orbits of planets arranged in the heliocentric solar system now. If they want to teach religion & creationism in schools, let there be many classrooms in abundance ( over in the Philosophy depts) for this i am all for it. And don't stop there make sure to teach them all , reverse engineering them tracing all the way back to the earliest roots where its possible to study them as keenly as any other complex natural phenomenon. * The doubly high murder rate of this state is sitting there as a testimony to how little influence a state so dominated by fundmentalist Christianity seems to do little to stem these stats, what is the probem here? I could be as dumb as you & make the inference that "More Jesus = More Murder" , that would be typical Brumar reasoning.
