The Rules

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I’m not sure what you think those quotes prove.

That it's perfectly fine to for the government to promote Christian religion, i.e. what the submitted story is about.

That would also be false: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceremonial_deism

Now, will you admit you were incorrect about the pledge of allegiance being mandatory in schools?

Nah, that's a bullshit excuse for religious indoctrination.

Now, will you admit you were incorrect about the pledge of allegiance being mandatory in schools?

No. If the pledge must be taught in school and some individual students can opt out of repeating that indoctrination, doesn't mean that the pledge itself is not mandatory subject in school. I did not write that all students must recite it.

All your "ceremonial deism" reference proves is that there is a giant loophole for the federal government to indoctrinate on religion and not just state and lower levels.

If the pledge must be taught in school

This is also not a requirement. I'm just going to stop talking to you. Virtually everything you have said so far has not been true and you won't even acknowledge any of it.

Good, then I won't have to deal with notifications that some forms of religious indoctrination are just secular ceremony.
