I have always felt this way as well. Though, I assumed they were basically legislative auditors; much like the people challenging public buildings with video. It’s insufferable at time how they approach it, but the freedoms we DO have are often directly tied to their tactics. The satanic temple keeps church OUT of public school. I also believe that Christianity would win the day among all other religious groups in a public school setting, but I disagree with it having the “legal” opportunity. First amendment rights and all were supposed to challenge our faith; Christ wants that. I wholeheartedly believe the power of the Almighty, so I don’t need the public battle as my form of discipleship, that’s all.
I just noticed this part of your comment. That's the first time I've heard that idea, that the Establishment Clause is a good thing because Christ wants our faith challenged. That's a really interesting viewpoint and one I'll be bringing up in conversations about the Establishment Clause in the future. Thanks for sharing it.
My personal viewpoint is that it's difficult to find two people in the same church who agree on all the big ticket items in life, much less people from different denominations and religions.
While many religious people may agree that God needs to be put back in schools, they certainly don't agree which God needs to be put back. And even those who believe in the same God can have drastically different ideas on what God wants. A Southern Baptist will have much different beliefs than a Catholic, for example. I doubt Baptist parents would be happy if a Calvanist teacher told their child free will doesn't really exist. And I can imagine what a Lutheran parent would say if a Pentecostal teacher sent their daughter home for wearing pants and advocated snake handling.
So that's why I believe religion should be kept out of schools and should be taught by the parents and their church if they go to one.
I doubt all of them are agnostics or atheists, but they seem to be the vast majority. I'm sure many of them are 1st Amendment hawks and such.
