they do not believe it to be true, they claim their is no evidence to support its record,, they say it is a human book and people who follow christianity are following an imaginary sky jockey (to use their venacular) and they do not believe in the miracles, in the life changes brought about by belief in Jesus and reject all proofs that support the christian faith and the Bible.
Please provide one proof.
and on we can go with that list. the atheist wants to practice their unbelief in peace yet they will not allow the believer to pactice their beliefs in peace. if a family wants to go to church and have christian ideas taught in public school, then it is none of the atheist's business. if they do not like it, they can build their own schools and avoid the church buildings.
Well, you've hit the nail on the head. Because you believe in Christianity, you believe that you have a right to teach it in public schools. Sorry, but our public schools are filled with students of many, many faiths and it is wrong to force your beliefs on those that hold their beliefs just as sacred as you hold yours.
Here in the South there are still "blue laws" in affect that directly impact my ability to live my life as I see fit. Left unchallenged, Christians will do everything within their power to force their beliefs on everybody and anybody who does not share their same ideals.

so do atheists. remember the father who fought the words in the pledge of allegience?
Rightfully so, considering that the words "under God" we added to the pledge in 1954.

Teaching religion in public schools has nothing to do with atheism, it is against the establishment clause to the 1st amendment of the Constitution.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
