time, knew 3 lesbians and 2 gays and we all hung out together (I'm straight). I was the public school student, 3 of them were catholic schoolers, and the other 2 also went to private but I don't know if and what type of religion.

So taking my example and the SOH example together, this idea that private schools develop conservatives and public schools develop liberals doesn't appear to be all that successful. Maybe a symbol of effects of parentage?

And yes that is exactly why I would send my child to a private school if I didnt live in such a conservative school district.

What is the government religion? I went to a public school but I am unfamiliar with this faith.

The unfailing, unwavering, completely irrational faith in government. You have prayers, idols, priests, everything.

I was never taught to be faithful to the government.

I went a fairly liberal school where the Pledge of Allegiance was not a common tradition. My teachers never mentioned the government outside of History and Government class.

I also have little faith in the government. Therefore, if this religion you speak of was actually practiced in public schools, it is clearly ineffective.

This might depend on different generations. My generation, mostly going to school the 70's, we were not taught that government was a religion. We were taught ( in public school in South Jersey) that the Soviets only religion was government.

Maybe that's changed now, I have not been in a school in 35 years.

In RebelReality if you are not 100% anti-government, you must 100% believe that government should control all our lives and you enjoy being a government slave.

That mentality is fairly common among Americans.
