Republicans don't care about education. They want compliance.

When I was in the 9th grade in GA we had someone read Bible verses over the loud Speaker. It really did make them Christian. It just made it pious!

Religion is a personal choice and should not be part of the public school system. If parents want to send their kids to a private religious school that’s on them!

Interesting. Think about the insanity: Everything is “God’s will,” and everyone is always “forgiven,” but somehow Catholics and Christians never run out of guilt to dump on everyone for everything they do.

2/2. He worked at the same factory for 35 yrs making not much more then minimum wage. Also stopped being Catholic in his 40s. He was not well educated and never pursued to learn anything after HS. Thank God I went public school. Got a better education and intro to the job market senior year.

It is also used by criminal men as a defence to avoid accountability for evil activity. They publicly declare their Christianity as if it is some form of shield from prosecution. Several of them are in courts in the UK currently. eg. Russell Brand, Tommy Robinson, Danny Tommo and Young Bob.

Even men leading churches want to have more power, influence and money in this society! God can't fit in schools only religion can And religion is NOT God People with religious beliefs need to accept that your beliefs belong to you and ONLY you and not to your neighbor and not to society

Is there a need for BIBLES in school? That’s ONE religion, one subculture with many sects. But we’re disallowing others & is unwieldy for everybody if we pick one out of the hat. What are the crime statistics by religion? It violates the constitution.

You aren’t going to see the end of religion. Not that you were asking for such. Guilt & promises of heaven for a better behavior works to some degree, NOW & again YET, there sure are a lot of religious people who are despicable, that’s true. Including some of the ‘holiest.’ Not needed in school

No, but religion in school is great for mind control of the children. Republicans want to destroy public education because an educated voter is statistically more likely to vote Dem. But if you get them to submit to Big Daddy, you churn out conservatives. God and religion can be mutually exclusive

Was born & raised Catholic and believed up &until I fought in Vietnam there was a god. Then after seeing death&fighting for my life in that war,&one day went to mass in the jungle&the priest was praying for us to kill the enemy in gods name.What?!?That was the beginning of my journey to atheism.

If they want to teach religion it better include all the religions of the world, not just Christianity. Everyone deserves to be counted and recognized.

People a practice whatever religion they choose. I agree it has zero place in public schools.

If you wanna know how to shut down a hypocrite Bible thumper ask them a simple question about t/Bible If Adam & Eve only had 2 sons Cain & Abel where did Cain’s wife come from? Then ask them, if God drowned everyone on earth but 8 people on t/Ark doesn’t that mean everyone is from incestuous sex?😂

Religion puts your mind in a box, requiring you to conform to that religion’s beliefs. Destroys your critical thinking ability, as you have no vision outside the walls of the box. She’s spot on, the more people that realize this, the better off we’ll be.

😘

8 years in Catholic grade school. In 8th grade, I got into an argument with a lay teacher about Mary her “virgin” birth. I was suspended and eventually had to apologize to teacher and class before being allowed back to school. That was all of the jeebus I could take…agnostic now leaning atheist.

Who’s God?

💯

Religion is a control mechanism for mediocre men.

I’m an atheist too and I agree with this message

I believe it’s a crutch just like alcohol or drugs. So is god your local dealer?

There are different parochial schools in the town I live in. The teachers at the school I spoke of were all Lutheran (WELS) teachers.

I agree

Religion - church, temples and synagogues, parochial schools, etc. Education - schools, colleges, universities. Separation of church and state. Keep it simple, stupid!

It's a Fucking Cult

When your god can deflect bullets.....then you can put him in a school.

Or at least have me as the teacher.... ;) I know more about the bible than most Christians... and they wouldn't like what I would make the kids study out of it.

Pedo Priests always give such good advice

I love this. My voice is hoarse from saying this...

So, which religion to we choose and why???

💙💛❤️🙏🙏🙏

She's nothing but what men call hysterical. I'm Catholic, Brian, and glad I was raised as one. Something happened to you along the way, Brian, and allow Satan give you that lie. But who am I to tell you otherwise, as Satan rejoiced. Go back to the church, Brian, the rosary, the Holy Eucharist.

PS I was in the sixth-seventh grade- coming home from school, when the minute I walked in the door, that woman’s face was on the TV, who won the court case. To think, this woman ranting in this video, could take that energy to help with her argument, while Republicans disregard that law.

We don’t need Bibles and prayer in school ONLYbecause in 1963-64, a woman by the name of Madeline Murray O’Hare won SCOTUS to not allow Bible reading in prayer in public schools. Your should be focusing on that and not pushing atheism upon society. Look it up! Your reasoning is ill logic.

/2 you don’t get to say shit about us not keeping our lack of belief to ourselves. You’re a f*%#ing hypocrite with that nonsense. Nobody is pushing atheism on you when they criticize your religion. Your shitty ideas are immune to our criticism because you have a strong belief.

Thank You!!!!!

GOP Sharia Laws. That will happen.

I went to 2 years of an elementary Catholic school and by high school was basically atheist as well!🤷🏻‍♀️

Will it stop school shootings ? No!

Me too, and to top it all off, I was an Alter Boy for 4 years!

And we will NEVER stop wars because of pretend religions!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Meditation in schools has been shown to have positive outcomes. Actually, meditation is good for anyone of any age in any culture or in whatever setting. Not a religion, a practice, (which can lead to direct spiritual experience, as Masters attest to)

Believing in a higher power conditions children to follow orders and do what they are told. Highly desirable for pedophiles and dictator wannabees.

I like that.

The Roman Empire has a lot to answer for

Believe me, many days I was praying to get through the day and hold on to my patience. Other days, I was walking on sunshine as the song goes.

👍

We had optional religious classes aged 10-12. I sat them out as did most kids. There was of course Sunday School too but maybe 10% of my school class attended. Skip forward several years and the 10% were the troublemakers among us. Coincidence ??

I agree it takes away from learning leave that crap at home

I grew up as an Anglican. I am an atheist now. Keep religion out of school. There are Churches, Mosques, and Temples for that!

From having my left hand hit eith a ruler from the age if 4, to secondary education in Roman Catholic schools, i cant stress this enough... Fuck religion in schools, its based on segregation nothing more.

“God” has been in the hearts of all those good little white Christian nationalists when there slaughtered their classmates. Well god and the Russian psy op formerly known as the NRA . Maybe let the kids read something less violent like real depictions of ww2

All or none! 👍

Well said.

We've had Christianity in schools in the UK forever. The result only about 3% of the population regularly attend church...

I'm another who survived Catholic school. Truly one of the worst experiences of my life.

🎯 !!

Agreed.

And lunch, don't forget that. Because Jesus fed the hungry, even the ones that had a negative balance.

Same girl, except Lutheran.

Agnostics here. Religion belongs in churches not in public places as schools, government buildings. My honest opinion

By the will of Thor, Ra and any other of the Gods that have been cast aside. This lady is spot on

I’m trying to help nice people like you eschew the word ‘atheist’ because it sort of presupposes that belief is the norm. The believers may be ‘theists’ but you are just a person. You don’t have to define yourself in terms of religion. That’s what I always say. 

The bible was written to turn people into prey. It's been weaponized against us for a long time.

It will only cause problems, some in school, some later in life.

That might have left one thing unclear ... I don't want Bibles in public classrooms because they won't be taught with critical thinking. They'll be used for indoctrination.

👏🏼👏🏼

She is correct but especially in the insistence that putting religion in schools is not actually doing the things kids need to succeed in school. Read to your children. Fund the schools. Pay attention to their performance. Etc

Ditto for me plus I was an altar boy. I once watched the other altar boy at a mass pass out from the incense, but I digress. I am also an atheist.

They don't care about the education, never have

Tbh, there’s no place in society, and education in particular, for religious schools as a substitute for regular school, regardless of whether they are private or not. I’d ban them altogether.

Yes.

💯: the German philosopher, Ludwig Feuerbach, wrote in his book The Essence of Christianity (1841) that it wasn’t “God” who created man, but man who created “God”.

She ain’t wrong.

EXACTLY 💯

We need parents to stop abusing and neglecting their kids. We need daycare and healthcare. We need children not to be hungry in school. We need reading, writing, arithmetic, ART and MUSIC, CIVICS and LOGIC.

I grew up Catholic, now I am agnostic. I prefer to worship Zeus or Apollo..

Every science denier I know is deeply religious 🤔

An interesting fact - most US prisoners identify as Christians.

Same here.

I don't know about all religions, but the Abrahamic religions are all about control.

Keep your god(s) out of our schools!

Well maybe. They’ll be on hand to give immediate thoughts and prayers when there’s a mass shooting in the school.

Right there with you .

Fucking a sing it sister!!!

This is exactly what the founders said, too. Jefferson especially denounced indoctrinating children.

The same. I question my faith to the point that atheism looks good right now.

If you are demanding that the government teach your children, your religion, then you have failed your God.

Religion just makes God the person of accountability. The only problem with that is I CANNOT HOLD GOD ACCOUNTABLE! Same reason I hate it on the dollar bill "In God we Trust" I DO NOT TRUST A GOD I DON'T BELIEVE IN! I want to be able to trust in systems I can hold accountable like THE GOVERNMENT!

🙏🎯🙏

Me too!

Sort of like TikTok in our internet

The more it fights for relevance, the more likely it is to die.

That's from the Catholic Church, not God. Don't confuse the two, they're completely different. The Catholic Church wants control. Not God, he gave us free will.

She can still bowl! 😂😂

A 3-fingered nun named Sr. Gregorita?! That’s the stuff of nightmares! 😳

It might improve kids ability to recognize hypocrites which is a useful skill

Students everywhere: “God I hope I pass this test…otherwise my parents will be hella pissed.” The extent of allowable religion in school.

The problem is not putting God in Schools. The problem is putting religious zealots in charge of indoctrinating our kids, instead of teaching them science, history, math, computer science, the arts. And hard science: biology, physics, chemistry.
