The danger of this is that people can say or this is no big deal, they just have to say a text in order to graduate... but it would set a dangerous precedent and open a can of worms, where future laws could then be passed based on this one, saying for example that you have to prove that you were baptized or that you attended church for x amount of hours during your attendance in high school...

That's a really scary thought. My mother came from a family of Jehovah's Witnesses so she made sure to raise us with a very open view of religion. I was never baptized or anything because she believed it should be a choice when you're old enough to do it. (Religion was stuffed down her throat). So I've always been agnostic (my brother is a more casual Christian, my other brother is a born-again, and my sister is an atheist lol), because of my ow views. The idea that this could set a precedent that could lead to that sort of thing...that's just disturbing on so many levels.
