Srsly, Pom is right. the principal is one isolated case in a position of power and he's taking advantage of it.

I also laugh at how the article mentions the "School Committee - made up of church members" and how they threatened him with suspension.
It seems more likely to me that the author of this article is just taking a jab at religion. More likely than not of course they would go to church. Big deal...
Also, it looks like the aformentioned principal is the one threatening him with suspension, he probably just made it sound like the committee was backing him.
Lastly, who would sign a school disclosure that strict?! That's not a high school, it's a brain wash facility.
I feel for the kid...

Birds fall from the window ledge above mine. Then they flap their wings at the last second. I can see
their dead weight just dropping like stones or small loaves of bread past my window all the time.
But unless I get up, walk across the room and peer down below, I don't see their last second curves
toward a horizontal flight. Now due to a construct in my mind that makes their falling and their flight
symbolic of my entire existence, it becomes important for me to get up and see their last second
curves toward flight. It's almost as if my life will fall unless I see their ascent.

Sadly there are too many Christians out there like this, so it creates a stereotype that we are all nut jobs.... or child molesters. >_<

Any group in general has a bad rep to another group.

Christians - Too conservative, closed-minded, anti-science.
Athiests - Stubborn, rude, closed-minded, argumentative.

I like the part about how rock music "is part of the counterculture which seeks to implant seeds of rebellion in young people's hearts and minds."

'Cause listening to Queen is totally gonna start a riot. :P

But yeah, Zurg beat me to it. Radicals in any group stand out, and set a stereotype for the entire group that isn't true.

Thus, my general distaste as being labeled as atheist or even agnostic (which seems to have less intolerance than the rest, IMO).

Hey, atheists can't use their stance as propaganda to incite hateful violence. Well, except in the most basic of senses - we're atheists, they're not, let's kick them. But we don't have a book that gives us a list of people to kill, so we're superior in at least the moral aspect of life.

It's not about whether all Christians are bad or not. It's about which stance makes you more likely to be evil. I think that the platonic ideal of a moral being would have to be religious, but his religion would have to not be incoherent hateful babble that's constantly spun every which way by various churches. If you don't believe in an afterlife, you can be evil because why not? If you do, then you can be evil because your god said to. Neither of those are really better. But, I find that there are a lot more Christian nutjobs than amoral, apathetic nihilistic atheists, for whatever reason. Atheists tend to be closer to the ideal, because it is harder for us to give up spirituality than for Christians to give up brains.

As far as being "cool" goes, no. Even if you, like most Christians, ignore 80% of what the old testament tells you to kill, the fact remains that you choose to identify as a person who respects blackmail, genocide, and all of the other fun atrocities the Lord thy God has committed. That's uncool.
