Exactly! It is like handing a kid a water pistol and saying, "Go fight that raging forest fire!"
I taught Sunday School. You can easily undo it. In the first place, schools don't teach humanism non-stop throughout the day. Instead, here and there, there may be a few bad teachers that try to influence but the greatest problem is actually peer pressure, ie: to do drugs, sex, etc. Peer pressure is overcome by reinforcing God's principles in the Sunday School class and it WORKS.
The Romans tried to kill us all, but ended up with a Christian Emperor instead.
There is power in faith and prayer, and God's Spirit is at work everywhere in the world.
Kids are forced into a 100% godless environment, and it remains godless 100% of the time.
Not one shred of anything they learn is ever framed in, or analyzed from the Christian ( or even a “generic” God) perspective. There is no reference to scripture, or what a child's particular church leaders may have to say.
The lesson that is taught 100% of the time is that God is irrelevant, unnecessary, and nonexistent, and unimportant in the evaluation of the culture and life's conflicts and challenges. This is a POWERFUL non-neutral religious lesson that government **establishes** every government school day.
When religion simply can't be avoided in the curriculum, it is examined clinically, without passion or conviction, as if it were an amoeba under a microscope.
Ok...So..Some Christian teachers may try to sneak in the Christian perspective once in a while. The only thing these Christian teachers are doing is teaching students that Christians are SNEAKY.
EVERY government teacher who walks into a government school agrees to ***ESTABLISH** a godless worldview and to teach children how to evaluate their culture in a godless manner.
Every Christian teacher should know that to scrub the culture completely free from a God-centered perspective is a lie. The kids know this much about Christianity’s beliefs and rightly conclude that their Christian teachers are hypocrites, who will lie to kids for a paycheck.
The godless worldview of the government schools encompasses EVERY teacher and school employee who agrees to work in one. **Every** one of these people are helping children to learn to be godless. I wouldn't call that “few”.
The peer pressure that you blame is merely a **symptom** not a cause.
Is Sunday School better than no Sunday School..Yes of course! It's like deliberately making a kid sick all week long and then sending him to the doctor on Sunday for some religious antibiotic injection. Hey! That's not smart.
