That Jesus said we should feed the starving, house the homeless, give to charity, and take care of immigrants. Then when the kids go home and see their parents and pastors being the exact opposite they'll question and hopefully realize the truth.

[@charlesmbennett0000]

I believe it was to teach the immigrants, Not to take care of them, so in their countries they would learn to give to the poor, and give housing,food and clothing, and care for the sick. We in America have not even applied this as a nation.only poor taking care of the poor it seems.

[@christeasdale1910]

I was raised catholic. I think it was good for us to learn about different religions at school in R.E and discuss them. But I do not believe that preaching and/or forcing a certain religion onto kids is a good idea in public schools. Where I’m from, that’s what church and Sunday school was for. And catholic schools. And I believe 100% that religion has no place in politics at all. Politicians are supposed to care for all citizens. Not just the ones with whom they share religious beliefs. Also, I find Donald trump selling bibles to make a profit not only blasphemous but deeply offensive. He and any other so called Christians who supported that venture should be ashamed of themselves. Disgusting!!

If you support teaching Religion in schools based on the Idea of "Better Morals" you have to explain why it hasn't worked in Churches.

[@jeremylayman3684]

But then, they'd have to admit to being amoral while going to Church. The preacher and the Churches' members believe since they (christians) have been saved, they can do no wrong. Hence, their morals are the right morals. When, if you truly take a long look at religion in history, you will find it is the cause most taken by those most Immoral in society. The crusades? Land grabs for the Church. Inquisition? Eliminating the competition. Even the ten commandments are basically 'shut up and obey'. Controls, and immorality, from the supposedly most moral people there is. HAH.

[@burrellbikes4969]

Prayers back in school is a straw man. Any kid in any class can say a prayer. The school can’t mandate or strongly encourage prayer to be done by staff of students. That is a VERY different point. And everyone should demand it stay that way.
