Religion in Schools

Lately in class we have talked a lot about religion, with the history and founding of Islam and the crusades. Sometimes people bring up seminary in class as well. Mr. Dye had a talk with us about whether or not religion should be in school. I believe that studying religion is necessary for sutying the time period we are learning about. Islam and Chrisitian beliefs go hand in hand with the crusades. I think it is necessary to talk about religion. I also think that people who a really picky about seperation of church and state are really stupid. This country was founded on God. The pilgrims immigrated here so that they could have freedom of religion. When we say the pledge, we pledge allegiance to God and our country. Religion is the foundation of our nation, and now that foundation is crumbling. And without a good foundation, our nation will crumble.
