In Western politically Democratic secular nations religious interaction with taxpayer operated agencies is usually frowned upon, especially when linked to educational instruction.
In Europe (more so) and America religious instruction or practice is particularly frowned upon in Public Schools. This is abundantly the case with the Christian faith.
In America the practice of prayer and Christian interaction was a normal part of life until Secular Humanists and atheists gained the aid of Left Wing lawyers to convince the Supreme Court to reinterpret the First Amendment in which disestablishment clause states “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion”. The Supreme Court used an atheist suing about prayer in school to reinterpret the Disestablishment Clause from meaning the Government cannot establish a State Church to religion must be totally separate from the Government; i.e. the old myth of Separation of Church and State. The Supreme Court totally ignored the grammar of the First Amendment which follows the Disestablishment Clause by a comma and states “or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”. Thus the Supreme Court single handily prevented hundreds of years of American practice prior to the 1960’s with the paradox of prohibiting religion in Government yet not prohibiting the Freedom of Religion. The paradox is by prohibiting zero religious interaction in Government (i.e. schools, Universities, Courts, taxpayer supported social programs et al) in effect prohibits the “free exercise” of religion.
Now here comes the real rub! Western nations are now expressly prohibiting the practice of anything Christian however with some kind of twisted thinking of diversity are forcing Public School students to learn the faith of Mohammedanism even to the extent of forcing the practice of its rituals. American Universities are even providing special Mohammedan exceptions that would be considered Leftist blasphemy for Christians to practice their faith on the taxpayer dime.
Now I am reading in the UK that two students were punished and reprimanded for refusing to practice an academic exercise that would force them to pray like Mohammedans. The article also mentions how American-Mohammedan organizations like CAIR have gone to Public School assemblies to preach the Mohammedan theology (which denigrates Christian Theological beliefs) to students on the taxpayer dime.
This is outrageous Left Wing allowed practices that I believe is perpetrated on American students and European students to undermine Christianity as the foundation of Western Culture.
If the free exercise of the Mohammedan religion is allowed on the public dime then BY GOD our cultural heritage of Christianity MUST be allowed as it indeed was prior to the 1960’s.
