Im in a public school, have been all my life. Im an athiest, but I want to learn more about christianity, so im thinking about changing schools. But can I, do you have to have any proof that you are a christian? |

I go to a Catholic school, don't believe the stuff, but my school doesn't mind. In fact, there are a lot of mixed religions at my school. Many admitted Atheists, school doesn't bug them. A few people who practice something like Wicca, and even a couple Islam. |

Catholic schools are publicly funded (in Canada at least), therefore anyone can go. I went to one...don't let em force you to do communion. I refused. |

If you are an atheist, you are probably going to be sickened by the constant Christian ritual. You are going to feel like it has nothing to do with you. Mass after mass after mass after prayer after prayer after Bible study after mass after Bible study after prayer after prayer after Mass after prayer after mass after mass. It will drive you insane, especially if you go to a school where they WILL hold it against you on a very personal level that you are an atheist. Some places will not confront you directly. They will just screw with your grades, single you out in class, and punish you unfairly. It could turn into a nightmare. |

How do you know you are not dreaming right now?
I think the fact that there even Are Christian schools is just ridiculous. We all live in the same world, we no longer have black and white schools too. |

Difference is though, a lot more people are still offended by religion than they are by race. A Catholic practice isnt allowed in a Public school incase they offend Muslims, or vice versa. They aren't even allowed to show Easter or sing Christmas songs because of it. Christmas is now refered to as "Happy Holidays" not to offend other religions. |

I forgot something. Is there are subject taken out of the ciriculim, to make room for learning religion |
|
No, most Catholic schools teach science. As for courses, its dependent on the school. It doesn't apply to just catholic schools either. All schools have different curiculums(sp?). A good idea would be to ask the school itself on its courses that it offers. |

best way to find out about Christianity is to ask a free-thinker (dont read that the wrong way) Christian who is a honour to the name |

Hardly, a religious person can easily be a free thinker. Just because a person believes in a religion doesn't mean they can't be a freethinker. Thats like saying someone who believes in science can't be either, or somone who believes in anything can't be. |

Gay Marriage is a horrible sin... pfft. Thats one of the things that makes me hate christianity. Back in those times, before they we're informed, it was all well and good to hate homosexuals. Now we have an understanding of it. The fact that its an imbalance of X and Y chromosomes, and more specifically Testosterone and Estrogen. That said, being homosexual is out of the person's control. Its why it takes max effect at puberty, because that is when the said chemicals are most active. |

He never said anything against that, he wanted to know the reasoning behind that opinion you have. He wants you to back up your opinion. Why do you think its wrong? Whats wrong about it? You should be able to back up an opinion you have. |
