Could you please direct me to the exact passages in the Bill of Rights that you refer to?
: Hey Chad, ever hear of the Bill of Rights? They are the first ten ammendments to the Constitution of the United States and they are non-negotiable and CANNOT BE VOTED ON! Those rights protect the minority (me) from the majority (you.) I am forever greatful to the forefathers for this protection since I am constantly reminded by people like you how much I need those rights. It is big of you to think "we atheists" should have our own schools. However, I truely doubt you would tollerate your tax dollar supporting such a school. Just like I do not want MY tax dollars used to proselytize our youth.

: : : : Now that everything has to be politically correct, this country has gone to shit.
: : I think you atheists are truly sad people. God IS everywhere. I am not a religious radical. I am actually not as nearly religious as many people. This whole "take God out of everything to appease us spiritually dead people" is sickening.
: : I believe it should be voted on. Prayer in schools, "In God we trust" on currency, vote on it all. I agree that you atheists have rights. There should be schools that cater to your beliefs.
