Parents across this country need to be pro-active in ferreting out, exposing, and challenging those public school educators who are increasingly bold in their willingness to use taxpayer-subsidized curricula to promote anti-Christian bigotry and discrimination. Don't assume this is a problem only in colleges and universities. Dawkins' God Delusion video has been shown even in high schools. The film and play versions of the wildly inaccurate, anti-Christian Inherit the Wind are routinely used in public schools. The blasphemous play Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes is taught in high schools. Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes, which is taught both in high schools and middle schools, depicts conservative Christians as, in the words of Kirkus Reviews, "humorless dupes or hypocrites." And the pro-gay, anti-Christian play The Laramie Project, based on the murder of Matthew Shepard, is routinely taught and performed at high schools around the country. One wonders how often the 2

The truth is, however, that if you go to South America, you will find a huge number of conversions to Protestant Christianity. If you go to Korea, you will find Christian churches with 100,000 members. If you go to China, you will find 100 million Christians. And if you go to Africa, you'll find that countries whose populations were only five percent Christian 100 years ago are now 50 percent Christian.

POPSAtheistic Missionaries Is it likewise a powerful conversion tool for atheists? Definitely. Think about young people who go off to college. An atheist could say to a student, "Hey, I can help you become more rational. Don't believe in religion or any of that other stuff that your parents taught you." Well, that might work to some degree, but it would be far more effective to say, "Did you know that the moral rules that your parents taught you are just in your head? I've got a way for you to get rid of those rules." See, if you reject the idea of God, then you don't have to do any of those things that God supposedly commanded you to do. Atheism can be a sort of manifesto of moral liberation from rules. And the rules that are most objectionable in our day and age are those that basically say, "Thou shalt conduct thyself with responsibility, chastity, mutual fidelity, and so on."

POPSborn belief although I can see the point- there is no reason to expect that the average 6-7 year old child has never heard about God,( school, TV, other kids, grown ups all could have introduced this information) so the study, although interesting lacks this measure of control that would make it legit.

POPSAre there really any rights in America? If evolution is taught exclusively, and we rid all our public places of religion,and we continue to affirm as a nation, that there is no Creator, will any of us still have rights under the constitution?
