Small sample anecdotes when you don’t even understand the complexity involved does not mean anything. There are thousands of Christian fundamentalist chaplains in state schools and religious education classes are common. Even though these are two distinct situations they demonstrate to children that they are accepted by the schools and government. Kids believe adults and some of these ‘instructors’ do give the hell message. They should not be in state schools period as the potential zealotry is well known about. Read the mission statements of Access Ministries.
If the chaplains and religious instructors were Muslim, atheists or Nazis, (Nazis were Christian) would you still agree to this system.
You mean tyrannical communist ideologies that did not like competition from the churches. This argument is so weak as to be non-existent. What has this to do with atheism freely chosen in a democracy? I despair at your gullibility.
Uneducated people see the world in uneducated terms. It has nothing to do with be closer to nature. That is nonsense. They are scientifically illiterate and that is why they are still slaughtering children as witches in Africa.
Here is what you said about science defeating religion.
“ I wonder whether your applauding science for having defeated religion may be a case of premature congratulations :).”
And here is what I said, "It is only in your mind that science is applauding itself for defeating religion."
Here is your latest reply to that.
“Well since that's not what I said at all, it probably isn't in my mind. You've spent so much time putting words in my mouth I've had to increase my dental hygiene regime.”
So, exactly what words did I place in your mouth? It's obvious, your increase in dental hygiene was nowhere near enough?
I hope you can do better than this.
