This makes sense. You know, because I wondered why our students are uneducated, and it makes sense if their teachers have the same perspective as this man. Him with his Ph.D. in mathematics. Fiddlesticks.
You know what, he could have used a bit more time in English:

Guess what Dr. Silverman, religion doesn't mention god/God, so does that mean it doesn't have anything to do with him/her/it? NO. As an atheist, you are probably more religious than I am, because although you deny the existence of God, you are in fact still religious by definition. 

Your argument that America is not established on God and Biblical beliefs about God is supported with ignorant and misguided information. Have you ever read the Constitution? Or any of the writings of our Founding Fathers?

Dr. Silverman, you represent Communism more than anyone on that baseball team ever could. Baseball is a game based on absolute rules that are used to judge actions based on choices made by a team member.

Furthermore, it's not what you call a team that matters, it's the actions taken by the team. You tried to say that baseball is a business, and therefore different than a government ("Professional baseball teams are private, and it's none of the government's business what a team calls itself."). You tried to argue that schools are public and should not be subject to the rules of the privates sphere ("On the other hand, public schools are not private. The government funds public schools and it must not imply to students or their parents that the government favors one religion over another or religion over non-religion."). 

The federal government is not simply a public business. It is not a business at all. Yet, liberals attempt to make it function as one. The biggest difference that I see between the government and a business, is that a business is designed to create a profit. Governments function on the taxes apprehended from the businesses' profit. Governments depend on the profit of private businesses, but ours is pretending like the private business is dependent on the government. This thought captured in the Immortal words of our President:

Public schools are government run because of the sanction of the governed. After some investigation, it's not a wonder anyone does anything but send their children to public school. Scanning through this has led me to believe there are a lot of regulations on states by the federal government about what is and is not allowed in regards to education. I don't know of anyone who has a comprehensible knowledge of that information unless they are a lawyer of some type having to do with that area. Maybe this guy -> "Dave Niose presented a terrific case against the government’s telling students that the United States is “under God.” (Full disclosure: Dave is a friend and former president of the American Humanist Association, where I serve on its Board of Directors. He is also a very worthy successor to me as president of the Secular Coalition for America.) I think I’m being objective in appreciating Dave’s wonderful legal arguments, but I’m not a lawyer and I don’t play one for the Washington Post."

And for the record, Humanism is a religion too. 

Dr. Silverman, you take so many things for granted. God help us all.
