Why send your children to private school?

@ Sailor Steve - I didn't forget about the "Seperation of Church and State" - in fact I answered your challenge in Post #42....

@ Skybird - try rereading your cut and paste - might want to take Pennsylvania out since all it says is that you cannot disqualify a religous person because they believe - nothing discrimanitory there... Also - as for NC - In Asheville, NC, a local sitting councilman is a vocal athiest - yet even in the "Bible Belt" you don't hear people raising a ruckus - because the "INTOLERANT" Xtians seem to be rather tolerant after all - having been a part of him being elected - and not one lawsuit. How bout that...
There are laws in most states against homosexuality - under "Crimes against Nature" - but when are they enforced? Seems that those with moral beliefs are not out there harrassing and targetting others near as much as people like to claim in threads like this...

As for those who want to say wars and other violence are mostly about religion - sorry - that is demonstratably false.

The rise of the Macedonian (Greek) empire.
The rise of the Roman empire.
The Punic Wars.
The fall of the Roman empire.
The Hundred Years War.
The Spanish Civil War
The US Civil War
The Great War (WW1)

Etc Etc - and those are off the top of my head. War is predominantly about power (who has it) and control (usually of resources). The only reason so many wars have a religious conentation is simply because organized religion has been one means of control over mankind - and so any struggle for power and control will usually have a religious facet - as a way to claim authority. Don't confuse the root cause with what the foundational reasons are hiding behind. Even the Crusades (Most - the kids crusade being an exception) were about power and control. Winning a Crusade meant power (through prestige) at home as well as control over commerce to and from a focal point in the Middle East - all hiding behind a religious facade.
