One of the most immoral social institutions in my view is the institution of War.
While there are in fact no "Secular Humanist" clubs (if anything I think there is
a bias expressed by most individual teachers in favor of religion) there are just
as concretely Junior ROTC clubs in many High Schools.  These clubs, actively
promoted by the public schools, teach that War is perfectly OK and simply
an extension of the games played in childhood.
What do Christians say about this?
