That point should be driven home by the fact that the chronic religious ignorance of the US is the bedrock on top of which QAnon is built. You can't openly support ignorance about basic facts about reality for hundreds of years and expect this to have no consequences.

Americans need to learn basic facts about religion in school. Separation of church and state does not mean everyone must grow up ignorant. It means the state shouldn't promote one religion over another (which the US is doing anyway).

My suggestion is timely, measurable, and proven.
