My gf and I were just talking about this last night. They keep taking the religion OUT of schools, which is just increasing intolerance.
Sure, when I was a kid, there was Christmas and that was it. You painted pictures of Santa and Baby Jesus and all that other nonsense. These days we realize that's not quite right. But our solution is to take Santa out of the picture and make you paint snowflakes.
I was celebrating Channuka even when I considered myself a Christian. It's a beautiful holiday. Instead of kicking Santa out and making all the Christian kids angry, bring Channuka in!
Separation of Church and State dos NOT create an athiest state. What it does create is a state without a state religion. Recall that Great Britain's official church is the Church of England, which is run by the king. In fact, one could argue that state religion WOULD be consitutional so long as the church was not run by a state official.
Darwinism is a religion unto itself, anyway. Darwinism doesn't actually work out. We're now seeing that evolutions seem to happen very swiftly and almost always in line with environmental conditions (i.e., not random mutation). Darwin has been embraced for one reason: it does not mention God. In fact, evolution occurs more like Genesis than Darwin. Homos appear on the scene pretty much instantly, not through millions of years of evolution from apes.
