   That's fallacious logic, which is to typical of you   
   since you know nothing about logic.   
      
   So let's deconstruct your fallacious logic:  Somewhere   
   in history, atheists determined that we cannot teach   
   our children in school about God. But we CAN teach   
   them arithmetic.   
      
   So, using REAL logic (as opposed to the flawed logic   
   you prefer), which (between God and arithmetic) would   
   you think would become known by those children, and   
   which would you think would NOT become known?
