Religion has no place in any school system
Science flies you to the moon, religion flies you into buildings.
nuff said.
Nice.
If they teach theories in schools, I don't see why they should discriminate between, say, evolution and creationalism. Religion is what made science, so they could better understand the world God gave them.
Given that, religion seems to have been a motivator to bring people to the moon.
Religions have a history of hindering science. For example, Galileo was brought to trial for saying that the earth revolved around the sun instead of the biblical view of the sun revolving around the earth.

As for flying people to the moon; religion didn't have a lot to do with that. Cold war rivalry was the main motivator

Science teaches us about the natural world.
Religion "teaches" us about the supernatural world.
There's already a natural division in the two categories.
Edit:
Also, if science has taught us anything, next to nothing should be taught as "Fact"
Religion did not create science, humans created science.
Science and religion are idem. You'll see.
A genocide of the religious would solve every problem we currently face. Global warming, poverty through wealth redistribution, food/water shortages, the GOP. I bet that cruise ship wouldn't had crashed If those dead weight old christian couples weren't on board.
I simply ask people, people being christians, if they believe in God. If they answer yes i ask them if they still believe in Santa Clause too.
If they are particularly defensive about Holy Crap, i ask them how old they believe the earth is... for some reason Christian belief allows for a selective proccess when it comes to its own literature. Most western Davidian's, Christian's and for some reason McDonalds Managers("our food is healthy") all selectively believe. basically when its convenient.
If you are a true Catholic/Christian you know the earth to be no more than 7000 years old. if you believe otherwise you will burn in Hell for being a complete suchNsuch. Perhaps people will have their own opinions one day instead of reciting others notions with little to KNOW understanding of what they have the opinion about.
octobrev lol!! Global warming isn't a problem its the newest big bu$ine$$!!
I am spiritual, i beleive there is more to life than what we see. Yet i do not prescribe to any major religion.
I agree that children should be able to see both sides of the arguement for what they are and then make their own decisions.

Not the examples I had in mind but ok. Do you hear a priest or a professor reasoning? I can't tell.
I feel a vice versa coming up.
