Overall, I thought this was a fairly good post.  However, while you talked about
several different religions, what about atheism?  Religions are tools with which
to impart moral standards.  But you could as equally talk about philosophy, or
honor, or integrity.  As for school prayer?  I think that the removal of school
prayer coinciding with the decline of moral standards was mainly a coincidence. 
Forcing children to recite some meaningless statement did them no good.  Making
children actually think about the underlying concepts WOULD be good--but school
prayer didn't do that.

Better, I think, to have mandatory philosophy classes.  Tell children to do
what's right, make sure they understand all the connotations of that phrase, and
leave it at that.
