Well despite the lack of established religion, the US still manages to bring
religion into almost everything. Evry coin says 'In God We Trust' for starters.
Every President is expected to be an active Christian, the airwaves are jammed with
fundamentalist claptrap, and even schoolbooks are 'cebsored' by fundamentalist
groups who have successfully fought for the exclusion of overtly Darwinian
material.

Every school or College graduation is opened and closed by a religious figure.

Give me the good old styate religion anytime. I went to a Church sponsored school,
as did my children. We all learned by example at an early age a healthy 
disrespect for religion and its practioners. After all, if it is forced on
you by the government it must be bad right?

Here, it is a parents job to teach a chil;d religion. Because, the state is
'forbidden' to teach anything, a parent or a church school can teach anything
it wants as 'fact' and get away with it.
