This is what I wrote, I was trying to say that a book which is considered a historically important piece of world literature should be considered for inclusion in a highschool library. Maybe it didn't come across that clear.
We could probably depress the level of religious participation here if we adopted Chinese Communist standards of coerced state atheism and religious oppression.

That could work to our nation's benefit--we don't know, but I certainly suspect.
What I know for certain is that the framers were bad with choosing prepositions.
Free FROM religion, idiots. FROM!!!!!!
Rabid theocrats are a cancer on our population.

It was Daddy, wasn't it, Fredo? He was cold, distant, never hugged you, hated Jews and drank like a sailor on liberty?
Your behavior indicates Daddy issues. Here's some help: https://www.verywellmind.com/what-are-daddy-issues-5190911
Meanwhile, men who grew up with an absent or emotionally distant father reported a range of issues, including the lack of a male role model, feelings of inadequacy such as a lack of self-confidence and self-esteem, and a quest in adulthood to find father substitutes....
...If you had a father who was absent or emotionally unengaged when growing up, you might still suffer from the negative impact of that relationship. Fortunately, according to relationship and sex therapist Caitlin Cantor, there are ways to overcome these challenges, starting with recognizing that your father, not you, is responsible for your issues. Here are steps Cantor recommends:...

it's not all deep as that.
I just can see a race cult for what it is.
give it a try, pretender.
Agreed you are pretty thin, if not shallow.
Of course you do. You're a racist and antisemite.
Sorry, Fredo, but no matter how cold, distant and racist your daddy was, I'm still an American sworn to defend our Constitution.
The problem with coercive State-enforced atheism is that there is no record of it ever working.
Even after 70 years of State atheism, polling data show that 80 percent of Chinese citizens practice some form of religion.

The mass of people are fearful and need religion.
I don't think Chinese folk religions, Daoism, or Confucianism are neccesarily based on fear.
Ancestor worship seems to be the fundamental basis of the folk religions, and Daoism and Confucianism are concerned with right practice and moral improvement as an individual commitment to the pursuit of the way of Heaven, T'ien Tao.

Well, I don't live in China. Maybe use a Chinese forum if that is your interest.

Google says only 14% of them believe in God. Perhaps some Eastern religions are not "God" based.
Perhaps some make a religion out of secular humanism, although I personally wouldn't consider that religion.
You can't project your experience as a kid being dragged to some fundy fire-and-brimstone church onto the experiences of religious people around the world

You lie all the time. It is boring.
A monotheistic "God" is very much a concept of western religions.
Saying that only 14 percent of Chinese believe in God is a western imperialist bias and perspective.
A creater God does not figure prominently into the major East Asian religions.
