When I was a kid, somehow my public school district developed a practice of distributing a small red pocket bible...

...and i also got another one after recruitment into a an extracurricular group called Fellowship-of-Christian Athletes.
but i smelled some funny things :
- despite half of the school athletes in the older grades being black, there were none in this group.
- the activity part of the weekly meeting was often skipped for readings...and i had joined for the physical activity !


many people were nice, some also classmates, but never did i get an honest presentation from any adults regarding why this group existed for 3rd-5th graders. it was definitely overt Christian pressure in a public education environment.
a variety of factors saved me from indoctrination, most immediately, a move to a neighboring county with plenty of other options.
