Talk to today's educators, and you might get the impression they consider Christianity to be the worse threat to American classrooms. Jesus Christ cannot be mentioned without the ACLU raging like a rampant fire in a dragon's throat. Keeping God out is touted as our Constitutional right. After all, we have to have separation of church and state, don't we?
The fact is, however, that Constitution and Bill of Rights protect our right to worship God without interference from the government. They do not protect the government's right to exclude God from any endeavor, institution, locale, or otherwise. Let me repeat. The government has no right to exclude God anywhere at any time just because he's God. Neither is there any law that protects the government from mentions of the existence of Jesus Christ as God. Secular settings are not "safe havens" from religious language, ideas, or even holidays, Christmas included.
Our nation was founded on Christian ideals. Our courtrooms are based on Christian law. Our morals are founded on Christian principles.
The United States currently embraces a philosophy of "one nation, many faiths." Among all the acceptable "gods," why is Jesus Christ the only one who is seen as a threat? It's because he's the true and living God. If you want to get God out of your hair, why bother with anyone but the real deal?
