There are TV preachers who are obviously only in it for the cash money they can make riding on the back of religion. Peter Popoff (among many others) comes to mind, selling 'miracle water' and other snake oil elixirs and trinkets for money. I call these guys "super atheists".
What I mean by a 'super atheist' is not only do they not believe in any deity, but their faith is so strong that they are willing to poke God in the eye, to ridicule and abuse the very notion of God by using it to make money. This is different from a non-believer. Many/most people who do not believe in God still have some respect for the idea, and for the people who worship. That is to say, God is not for me, but it is not something that I am going to screw around with. A 'super atheist' is a person willing to jump into the pool, and yell Halleluyah! Gimme all your money! This is a person willing to look God in the face, and spit. Most atheist/nonbelievers are not that bold.
The reason Leftists feel comfortable making children pray to Allah and to perform certain Islamic rituals is because they have absolutely no respect for these prayers and rituals at all. To a Leftist, saying a Muslim prayer is the same to them as taking a piss. It is nothing at all. What this demonstrates is a profound disrespect to the Islamic faith.
Conversely, these same Leftists are working overtime to ban, restrict, and persecute, any mention of or reference to Christianity or Christ on campus. So, what does this tell you? Obviously, Leftists consider Christianity to be 'real'. In the sense that their attitude is, 'You can pray to Allah, or Superman, or Santa Claus, all you want. But don't you dare mention Christ!' It would seem that Leftists have more respect for Christ and Christianity than many Christians do.
Typically with the Left, everything they do in their endless attempts to be 'nice' and 'understanding' backfires. And this is no different. By having children recite these sacred and hallowed Islamic prayers as if they were reading a grocery list, what the Left is really 'teaching' them is that the Islamic religion is all just bullshit. And it is OK to mock their religion by saying the actual prayers, and performing the actual rituals, as an intellectual exercise only with no relationship to any 'God' or 'Allah' at all. They are teaching the students that Islam is a curiosity. Something worthy of study with no real foundation or depth to it whatsoever. Good for them.
The teachers doing this are real 'super-atheists'.
