- W125875596 abstract "Jesus told Pharisees that they should Render therefore unto Caesar things which are Caesar's; and unto God things that are God's, Mr. Singer reminds us. He argues that, today, wall of separation between church and state is probably best way to ensure religious freedom in U.S., protecting both secular and religious worlds. IN SEPTEMBER 1999, Kappan published a special section on Religion and Schools. Essays by Gilbert Sewall, Elliott Wright, Thomas Lickona, and Warren Nord argued in favor of expanding influence of in public education.1 While authors' positions appeared reasoned and reasonable on surface, I contend that they are fundamentally flawed by unstated or unconsidered assumptions and by selective historical references. The arguments presented by these authors can be seductive in a society undergoing continuous - and sometimes disruptive - demographic, technological, and change. I believe appeal of these essays underscores importance of maintaining legal barriers that separate church and state in United States. Gilbert Sewall, guest editor for special section, established its direction in his opening article, Religion Comes to School. He makes three broad statements about advocates of separation of church and state. He accuses freethinkers and separationists of seeing Christian as a cultural artifact, possibly a sinister one; he argues that the accumulated religious wisdom of centuries and sense of personal meaning and purpose it engenders are marginalized in progressive education; and he charges that anti-religionists seek to suffocate an important part of human that elevates, dignifies, ritualizes, and often defines human experience. According to Sewall, overwhelmingly positive contributions that religious beliefs can make to education in society and motivating role in defining a moral life are feared, marginalized, denied, or suppressed by secular forces. Sewall's support for an infusion of religious education and values into public school curriculum is based on his belief that the religious impulse of appreciation and respect for human and earthly built on foundation that we are all agents of God and divine creations, is no longer venerated in public schools and that, as a result, religion no longer provides a model of character and virtue for all young people. . However, this is a one-sided version of role has played in history and of what constitutes religious values. In millennium that has just passed, organized religious movements in West and around world have been responsible for torture and murder of heretics, expulsion and enslavement of nonbelievers (e.g., Spanish Inquisition and Atlantic slave trade), and mutilation and oppression of women (e.g., in parts of contemporary Islamic world). They have turned their backs on genocide (e.g., in Turkey and Germany), collaborated with brutal dictators (e.g., throughout Latin America), supported colonialism and imperialism, participated in religious wars (e.g., Crusades, Islamic jihads, wars on Indian subcontinent), encouraged group suicides (e.g., Jonestown), and actively silenced dissenters. These religious actions and values they represent cannot simply be dismissed as unfortunate, peripheral, or outdated. They permeate today's headlines. The day I started writing this article, New York Times discussed an order from Vatican that forced an American priest and a nun to stop their ministry to homosexuals and people with HIV/AIDS because they were not emphasizing official church position that homosexual acts are 'intrinsically disordered' and evil.2 An open and honest appraisal of role of in U.S. and world history may discover that reason our secular society diminishes religion's motivating role in defining a moral life, as Sewall claims, has nothing to do with misguided court decisions that foster separation of church and state. …" @default.
