Santorum rails against Maher on 'Christian madrassa' commentBy Ashley Killough, CNN (CNN)– Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum hit back against Bill Maher Monday night after the liberal talk show host criticized Santorum for home-schooling his children, calling his home a "Christian madrassa." Responding to his comments, Santorum, a devout Catholic, said on Fox News that "folks on the left" are out there "trashing anybody who stands up for Christian conservative values, anybody who dares to actually teach their children faith in their home." Maher made the remarks on his show Friday, saying that Santorum was sheltering his children and educating them in the home rather than in public out of fear they "could be infected by the virus of reason."

I haven’t checked in here for a while since I thought it was getting boring, but the last few posts are good quality so I guess I’ll add you back to my daily bloglist. You deserve it friend 🙂
Mike, Atheists aren't atheists because we've never been exposed to Christian teachings. I go to churches all the time, weddings, funerals, etc. Atheists encourage knowledge and understanding above all else. What many home schoolers do is attempt to insulate their children from any instruction or knowledge other than that which they provide and control.
Pretty much the way that cults works.
Maher is right. He called a spade a spade.
A madrassa takes away secular education and inculcates kids with a religious view of the world. Santorum is doing the same: just with christianity instead of Islam
"Maher made the remarks on his show Friday, saying that Santorum was sheltering his children and educating them in the home rather than in public out of fear they 'could be infected by the virus of reason.'"
The irony is that now, during Easter weekend, atheists are taking out billboards saying, "You don't need to go to church to be good," out of fear that atheists and agnostics on the fence could visit a church this Easter and be infected by the virus of Christianity.
