Really?? I haven't seen one single person sacrificing animals.. and the only hooded folks here are the KKK.. lol! I know people who practice Wiccan. Not my cup of tea, but that's their business. Don't let them in the schools to teach it... but also.. don't let ANY religion in the schools... no matter how lovely.

The point is.. Who gets to decide what is an acceptable religion? Wiccan is completely acceptable to other Wiccans. That is why it's best kept out of schools and stays in Churches. No one is saying people cannot practice whatever belief they choose. It's really not anyones business. Although I think the line would be drawn at Human sacrifice.

Satanism?

Read this..

What is the difference between the Biblical deity and Satan? The deity is evil, if the deeds attributed to it were factual, poor old Satan is only reputed to be evil!
 
Yes..the Lord of Light (Lucifer) was a fallen angel...according to the bible..it is not the biblical sense I am worried about...I have read the Old testament..It is the modern interpretation that is more disturbing..

I firmly believe in the separation of Chuch and State. Public schools fall under the "State" catagory as they are funded by tax dollars. Therefore ALL religious material should be kept out.. and that includes Christian. People have to understand you cannot have it both ways. You cannot have Christian doctrine and prayer in schools and keep out other religions. IMO.. keep religion in Church and out of the schools.

Excellent. Can't have both ways says it best.
 
I'm certainly not an uber religious Christian...I am not religious at all..When I said I'd read the old testament..I have also read the Torah and the Koran..I don't believe in any of it..I was comparing them...

In my post I used the term 'recognised' religion rather than 'acceptable' religion because I was talking about the legal status of religious institutions. A group of people don't need to be recognised before deciding to worship who or whatever they choose but the manner of the worship practices and customs are still subject to Australian law. Muslims are not allowed to ritually slaughter sheep for example, nor marry their daughters off at the age of 12. Female circumcision is illegal.

There are a couple of groups that are recognised that probably shouldn't be - Scientology for one and the Exclusive Order of the Plymouth Brethren, both of which are really just cults. Religious status is not recognised for well established groups like the Masons, for example, even though acknowledgement of a deity is part of the ritual. AA is not a religion either although it talks about a 'Higher Power'.

If wiccans were to develop the structures and organisation that the government requires they might be recognised but as far as access to children in the schools is concerned they could only take part in the special religious education (SRE) if there were children in the school of that persuasion and then only with the consent of the parents who would have indicated this on enrolment. Distributing religious literature to all and sundry is not allowed. I reckon when we get to the point of allowing Satanists into school the SRE program will collapse under the weight of protest from everyone but the Satanists.

I may or may not believe in Christianity or any other religion. But I surely don't believe in Santa Claus, so why must I put up with his images every Christmas? I do, cuz it's no big deal!

As a child who enjoyed the magic of secular Christmas with Santa and presents and a fine baked dinner shared with extended family. I would never object to images of Santa. I'm not the Christmas Grinch.

However, I have on occasions been pretty riled by the over commercialisation of this Christian festival. When I see images of baby Jesus being used to sell expensive products I want to start writing letters to let the copy writers know that they are stepping over a line in the sand. I don't though. It's no biggie in the (almost) infinite time line of the Universe. So I just don't buy products advertised this way.
