--------In order to create a working society which benefit the entire human race, which I believe is what all but sociopaths desire, some ground rules would have to be enforced.--------

"I did not say barring the teaching of religious doctrine only the teaching of it as fact and there is a world of difference. When children are raised to believe in false assertions it often bars further knowledge."

How do you propose enforcing "Rule 6.) No teaching of any religious doctrine or theory as fact..." ? Would there be undercover police assigned to every church, mosque and synagogue to monitor what is taught? Or would citizens be recruited to report their fellow citizens for violations? What about in the home? Would children be taught in the Govt schools to turn in their parents if religious doctrines are discussed at home?

I would propose enforcing it in much the same way we enforce not teaching the flat earth theory. If taught at all in schools we would also have to teach the opposite evidence such as the borrowing from Berossus and Manetho, the legends of the Shasu and Sumerian material. We should be teaching things such as "The Sentences of Sextus anyways which is a collection of Greek wisdom sayings and after that, for someone to teach that the tale of the flood/Abraham/Solomon/Jesus etc are factual tales from antiquity, it would be about the same as teaching children the earth is flat.
