Every day?? Whoa.

But then, I went to Catholic schools from first through twelfth grades. We had religion every day, too, and it was a requirement to graduate, though not to get a state Regents diploma. I guess it seems like more of an effort to me because the LDS kids have to get out of their chairs and cross the street to get there. ;)

And, as you can see, twelve years of Catholic education has turned me into an obedient serf of the Pope...

No, children learning religion doesn't bother me. I know it only works if the student wants it to.

But I don't want my tax dollars to support it, unless my tax dollars support all of it. Including the Wiccans, the atheists, the agnostics, and the Satan worshippers. Same for everyone: that's the definition of non-establishment of religion. Complete exclusion just happens to be easier than complete inclusion, because inclusion gets controversial after a while. Only Satanists want their children to have classes on how to sacrifice a goat.
