>So given the above, I think that you too quickly dismissed the notion that removing God from schools does not cause a problem. For a long time God was in the home and in the school. Why? Because that was what we believed as a society. So morality was being taught and the members of the society (Americans) were conforming to such codes that were being taught at home and in school. You take away the teaching of basic codes from school and you then jepordize the very existence of the group. Why? Because nothing filled the void left behind by the removal of God in school, other than teaching that makes a person drift from one concept to another. As a society we are becoming a rudderless ship.

For those who can't find morality within themselves, I don't think religion helps much, except giving them a façade.

It's the widespread idea (and I have my opinions on who's spreading it) that there's no morality without religion. I'd say it's the FUD tactics applied to spiritual market. And you'll find me objecting each time that idea comes up.
