At my school there is student that runs a little thing called "SWAP" (Southern Worship and Prayer). They hold meetings in school and the person that runs it usually keeps a bible in his locker and reads it during the day in school (nothing wrong with this). Now today, SWAP got a "rival bible study group" called WASH (Worship at Southern High). I began thinking "Wow, what ever happen to Seperation of Church and State". So I was wondering, what does the fine comrades here suggest I do?

Just for a little backgroup history (and story time). The leader of SWAP is a personed name Mike. When I moved to my area in 4th grade (8 years ago) Mike was one of the first people I ment, and inevitably became one of my closest friends till about 10th grade. I introduced him to the then wonderful friend - Marijuana (I have since quit). One day we were doing our thing and one the way to dominos (walking) an african-american stops by us and says 'Have you found Jesus as your personal savior?' For some reason Mike just ate the hole thing up has been hooked since. We are still pretty good friends, but he is a very hardcore Christian now ("dedicates his life to SWAP" as he says it). We often also have "religion wars" which are pretty fun from a Christian vs "No God" believer.

this is common in the south, but if the school doesnt fund it i dont think theres anything you can legally do. organize a group of atheists to disrupt their meetings, sabotage, etc. or you can just get a megaphone and be as annoying as possible, this is very effective.

My school is called Southern Regional, even though we are in the middle of damn Jersey. =x By Southern they mean the high school.

:rolleyes:

Does inanity such as this come naturally, or does it take practice?

Start a a leftist student organization. I did that when I was in high school in response to the stupid ass student led worship around the flag pole we used to have at our school. Our group only had like 3 members, but at least we had our own orginization.

Well what I am trying to figure out is if this is exactly legal? Worship is going on in school.

Concerning seperation of Church/State. I don't think it can do anything provided the school does not fund, nor support them, insofar giving funding. I would do what redstar said. Start athiest group.
