You're purposefully misunderstanding or just moving the goalpost. The top level comment said "We studied the major religions," which is different than the "let us preach to your child in school" portrayed in the OP, yet you conflate them despite their differences and sum it up as "oh well that's just in their interest" as if that absolves them of anything.
Just because it is in their interests does not mean there is nothing to accuse them of, someone advocating to have -their- religion preached in school is not just a fragment of "educate about all religions in school," it is completely different to give a sermon than give a lesson. So yes, the Christians advocating for sermons in school are rightfully accused, because that's not education, that's indoctrination.
Sorry, I think I have not understood your first part. I replied to the comment saying that Christian nationalists want to only their religion being studied in school. And as I said it is ok that they are fighting for their interests and not others. Would it be Muslims, atheists or buddhists they also want to only their religion being studied in school, and it is also fine. But not only one group is deciding and influencing on a school program. And they do not make it.
Preaching in school is different because you are insisting a person to do the act of preaching. And my opinion there is no place for such a things in mainstream schools.
And yes, teaching a religion is when you learn the basics like you learning the basics of some philosophy, and reading the Bible like you will reading "War and Peace", not sermon.
Preaching and sermon is acceptable in private schools because parents are decide how they want their children educated.
No, it's not. When their interests are destructive to free society, it is not okay for them to fight for their interests.
“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. (Matthew 26:52)
Is this destructive to free society?
You clearly aren't reading my posts, and are just looking for a reason to be upset.
Sorry. 😞
