Of course that's me speaking as an athiest American. In the US, religion is supposed to be kept out of the classroom in public schools.

Sure, you'll find the occasional nutjob. But, again, that's true of any religion.

If we do that, they should do the same, but they don't, and I'm only referring to elementary schools. Schools teaching secondary level education and a bove don't normally have any religious signs. Yet they complain about us when they have more than just a few signs in their own country and prevent us from public practice. We're already too tolerant as it is. Doesn't that make them hypocritical in a sense?
