Let's have something of each religion on earth in each classroom of America, it won't look silly I promise. -_-

Religion doesn't belong in public spaces.

I’m reminded of that episode in Babylon 5, where each of the major races on the station were showing off their faiths.

Great episode.

one of my favorites.

Vir: "Ah! he has become one with [whatever]!"

Garibaldi: "he's passed out!"

vir: "That too."

The other favorite moments? When Lando does the Hokey pokey ,

Delenn getting all Scary

and most the scenes with Bester (good lord I would not have expected that from Walter Koenig. talk about breaking the type cast. he played such an amazing villian.)

Yeah, but one strategy against christian attempts to force themselves into schools is to have a number of different religious organizations request the same right.

Religion doesn't belong

That one is enough, IMO. It's an archaic concept we really don't need any more. (Note: That's not me saying we don't need belief or belief systems. We don't need religion.)

Well I agree with that, religion plays no role in my life, except making me angry at times. But if people want to live in a fantasy on their own time, fine with me.

Eh it’s not a harmless little fantasy.

Yeah but realistically, I can't do much about the fact that people believe. There are other fights I'm taking on in my life, and doing good around me seems like a more productive way to spend my energy.

Also, I come from a country where atheism has past the threshold of 50% of the population last year (from 25% 10 years earlier). It seems that people are turning their back to religion here anyway.
