Two Florida school officials won't go to jail for praying

Religious freedom is something else than the freedom to force your believes on other people, especially when they are children. (even though the founding fathers probably had in mind the last thing:))
If they were not reprimanded there would be very little difference between that Florida school and some Iranian or Taliban high school.

Even though we don't notice it as such a lot of religious oppression occurs in the west (in the south of europe, Poland and Ireland the Catholic influence is an example of this. But we tend to be a bit more lenient on these things when they concern christians instead of muslims.
In the US everybody can practice his of her religious believes. But it is a good thing that people keep an eye on abuse of these freedom......keep this in the confines of your house or go to a church....stop bothering other people with it. The Christian influence in politics and daily life is already too strong as it is now.
Still I prefer the US system over eg the dutch system where we have catholic, protestant, muslim etc. schools (I'm talking about elementarry and high schools).

Well, yea, all countries (expect perhaps Vatican City, dunnow about them, but they do have 100% Christians as a population, unsurprisingly) have freedom of religion in Europe. But the dechurching is proceeding at a steady pace in all European countries. Here in the Netherlands it's proceeding at a high pace in most regions, and we see that a few pockets of heavy religious communities remain. But even in traditionally religious countries like Italy dechurching is taking place.

However, We will always have Christianity influence our culture, as it has been part of it for millenia, thus a lot of aspects are taken over. Although we're thankfully rid of some of the more barbaric aspects of Christianity like the literal eye for an eye (by killing murderers, etc) and the unequality of men and women.
