Lots of people like the fact that they vote for school boards and that schools are in the democratic arena. I like to ask them why they don't then support democratic rule for religion. If the democratic process is good enough for education, it's surely good enough for religion, which is closely related, after all. Strangely, no one wants to apply democracy to religion. I don't know why.
Democratic religion has all the merits of democratic education.
If the First Amendment is in the way, we can repeal it. But there's no support for the reform. Maybe people intuitively grasp what would happen if we moved religion from the private sector to the democratic arena. A lot would be riding on the votes. No one likes that, so people would be prepared to argue vigorously for their positions at public meetings.
