I do not argue anything is utterly wrong. The idea is that once you allow religious instruction in public institutions based on individual subjective religious beliefs, anyone can say anything as long as they have a somewhat sincere belief that it is tied to a religion. It is naive to think that individuals will only communicate religious ideas that you are comfortable with.

Now you must ask yourself, what else are you utterly wrong about?

Micha_Elyi, forgive me if I'm out of place. Perhaps your intention is more pure than I am giving you credit for.

But questions like that above aren't going to suddenly convince others that they had better give up their atheist views and give their life over to God. Perhaps they are utterly wrong about many things. If so, it's better to show them, with every conceivable charity and with head bowed in humility, where the error of their view is. In so doing you will be speaking to them as brethren... beloved children of the Father.

...is that denying their existence [i.e., the existence of moral absolutes] is itself a moral absolute.

I certainly don't see how you reach that conclusion. I think most theists here agree with the Dostoyevsky character who said, "If there is no God, everything is permitted." That would leave no room for moral absolutes, but it is not itself a moral absolute.

Perhaps you are thinking of statements like, "It is wrong to make moral judgments."

I don't want to censor religious views.

Yes you do. In your very next sentence you wrote...

I do want to limit religious speech...

The reason you give for your impulse to censor is irrelevant to the fact that you contradicted yourself.

Now you must ask yourself, what else are you utterly wrong about?

I don't want Jewish teachers telling kids that it is wrong to eat bacon.

Jewish teachers in gentile schools don't ever do that because Jewish religious law only applies to Jews.

So you must ask yourself, what else do you argue that is utterly wrong?

One of the problems with moral absolutes...

...is that denying their existence is itself a moral absolute.

Oops!

They "had to" because...

Check all that apply.

My father also talked about when he was a child and you had to fast 24 hours before taking the Eucharist...

(1) No one takes the Eucharist for that would mean we are entitled to it or have somehow earned it. The Eucharist is a gift from God. We receive.

(2) In your father's lifetime, the Eucharistic fast of the Western Church began no earlier than midnight of the day one received the Eucharist. In the discipline was later relaxed to three hours before reception and again to one hour before (the current discipline). Furthermore, the ill and their caretakers are exempted from the discipline altogether. The Eastern Churches have their own disciplines.

I also remember the time when Sunday was suddenly extended to include 6.30 pm - 12.00 am Saturday evening...

I remember that too. Liturgical Sunday begins at sundown on Saturday*, the beginning of the first (or eighth) day of the week according to ancient Jewish practice, and ends on midnight Sunday, the end of the day according to Greek and Roman practice. (Oh joy, did the shortened Eucharistic fasting discipline come in handy for those Saturday evening masses!) That a Saturday evening mass can fulfill the requirement for Holy Days of Obligation** (HDO) is an aid to travellers, many workers who must work on HDO in our industrial age, crowded parishes that must have many HDO masses to serve all parishioners who wish to participate in the mass, and the priests and parishioners of rural areas whose priests are shared with parishes sometimes hundreds of miles apart. Yes and some of us are weak***, at least from time to time, yet Jesus is merciful and wishes all to come to Him.
