In the United States, there is much debate about the separation of government and religion.

Yet based on the spirit in which this country was founded and in which the constitution was written, government should have little trouble doing more to support the type of educational institutions that foster a belief in G-d. The results will benefit society as a whole.

If anyone questions your right to practice/teach religion based on the apparently lacking of the mention of God, and the scant mention of religion in the U.S. A. Constitution, you can tell them you have 248 years (adjust years as time goes on) of provable precedence to support your rights, and a Declaration of Independence defined as a theologic testament that most certainly mentions God.

What the USA Constitution says:

(Duck Duck Go AI Assisted)

The U.S. Constitution addresses religion primarily in Article VI, which states that "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification" for federal office holders, and in the First Amendment, which includes the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause, stating that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

There are many Americans who do not believe there is a G-d. If we allow schools to attempt to foster a belief that G-d exists, we are ignoring those people. There are alsomany ways to believe in G-d. Which G-d? and how to demonstrate those beliefs? The separation of church and state was written for many good reasons. I remember when our public schools in New York had bible readings every morning. They read from the new testament and invoked beliefs that were not in step with my family beliefs. It was terrible for me. I was made to feel like an "other" Reply

in response to deb rome:

In Sri Lanka children are obliged to go to the Sunday School as part of the curriculum. Buddhist go to Buddhist Temples classes, Hindu to Hindu, Christians to Christians and Muslims to their Mosque schools.
Therefore Sri Lanka has a very good vibration people are pure (well not all but the vast majority) and in Sri Lanka the sex tourism present in other parts of South East Asia is inexistent. Under the radar some things might happen but are exceptions and population does not endorse this.
There you go. Problem solved. As for the Atheists, they can have some moral compass classes. Amie’s, morality that seems to lack these days in too many.
When a society no longer function on the values it was established from it collapses. Not right away there is an inertia yet we see this US was on the brink of collapse. No morality, degenerates, fentanyl crisis, criminality skyrocketing, terrorism flourishing more or less with approval from some authorities while cancelling all those that signal Reply
