That would be anti-fundamentalist-Christian, which is not religious neutrality.

If it's a private school that has no government funding then why should anyone care? There's much worse problems than some random school not allowing certain people in. There are plenty of more schools to choose from.

Nah. I don't see it.

You don't? Then glance up from your theoretical, hypothetical, perfect world and look around. I see militant atheists and oppressive secular humanists. Everywhere. Seriously, this is how all religions start off. Read up and you'll see it's true. Atheism is following the same pattern that most major religions have.
