No government has the right to decide on the truth of scientific principles, nor to prescribe in any way the character of the questions investigated.

Instead it has a duty to its citizens to maintain the freedom, to let those citizens contribute to the further adventure and the development of the human race.

And if you are if you are taught to read the bible, I can think of almost nothing more calculated to turn you off religion.
