Quote:I am fine with people believing in God but I am not fine with my government subsidizing religious elementary and high schools. (for example)We can agree that the majority of schools in the US are publicly run, and entirely government subsidized? What if any non-government run school, uniform in curricular outcome wanted some government subsidies? Is not the same rationale for funding public government run schools the same as for subsidizing any school?
The only difference is that some non-government run schools teach additional things, like STEM emphasis, or performing arts, or religious studies. But, they are highly scrutinized to ensure the same or better curricular outcomes.
I don't understand why so many independence minded in the US are willing to tolerate the near complete government monopoly on education.
Quote:Everybody should be treated the same, but sadly atheists are discriminated almost everywhere, christians are discriminated in Muslim countries and muslims are discriminated in Christian countries.Craig Hicks claimed he wanted "equality" as well, but I believe his actions were also biased against religious people.
