About the Catholic school thing -- I dunno, maybe it's different here than in Belgium, or maybe it was just my friend's school, but they said a prayer every day at the end of the day, and I think they had a church service when it was nearly a holiday -- Christmas, Easter, etc. But they also didn't have to participate, it was purely choice. I have no idea what they learned about other religions or how much they learned about others as opposed to Christianity, just that they did learn about other religions.
(thanks Fire and JP and WindDancer...how do I always manage to piss people off? I'm not doing anything...😕 )
I went to a Catholic grade school and I Catholic highschool, we went tomass once a week and atended religion classes daily. But they were always on Catholism not anything else. Non-Catholics did not have to participate. It isnt you Star he's trolling all the forums. 😖 And you need to get your butt to SWW and post you've ben negligent in your duties! 😱

freedom of a lot of things mesa figures. nice idea but freedom of speech and freedom of the press can both go too far.
Something we debated to death in my gov't class...there are limits to it, such as you're free to do as you want so long as it doesn't infringe on another person's rights, saying or doing something that incites violence ("fighting words"😉 aren't allowed...
