I can understand what you mean Katex, but perhaps it is different when you don't believe in anything to play act but I couldn't do that personally because I do believe and I would feel I was being a hypocrite.

If it meant enough to those children to not to want to participate in it I would have hoped that the teacher could have been a little more sensitive to their feelings and beliefs instead of giving them detention.

Once when I was in town someone in unfamiliar robes approached me and asked me to say a word I didn't know. I declined to say the word unless they explained to me what it meant. From that we had a discussion about tolerance and understanding and they were quite interested that I'd actually wanted to know rather than just either ignore them or just say it and walk away.
