Its OK as it is
Im not strictly a fundamentalist, although you all know I have some of their beliefs. Looking over the list, I would only say that I wouldn't change anything any more than is now being done except I confess that I would emphasize Christian religion over the other ones...even though students should be exposed to what the other ones believe.
We are talking about a hypothetical Theocracy, after all.....and no Theocracy can be all inclusive.

Re: Its OK as it is
Thats a good question and well phrased. In a Democracy, of course, no belief should be part of public policy. And you are right....I believe that IF God is how I believe that He is and that His Son lives, He will be quite capable of reaching you without preferred vendor status.
I was just answering in response to the assumption that fundamentalism had taken over. God knows that if Islam attempted such a hostile takeover in my country, I would probably be swinging the sword like it was Armageddon!
This topic does give one pause to think.......
