IAN Claire, what you believe is your business. I don't know of one person who would want to force you into suicide, an abortion, or using a contraseptive. WHY do you feel you should force your beliefs on others? Many Christians are in favor of prayer in school but they would be the first to object if someone said a non-Christian prayer. Since this is a Bible erranct list, may I ask when you have read your Bible through? My wife knows a Presbyterian lady in her seventies who is reading it through for the first time and she is not happy with what she is reading. Of course she is only up to Samuel and not into the NT but the NT has it's roots in the OT. If you're taking a beatting on this subject, let's talk about the Bible.
