Public schools are not supposed to endorse any particular religion, and I strongly support the separation of church and state. However, the private schools can generally do what they wish, as they are not state-funded. If a Pentecostal school wants to fire an atheist professor, they could probably do so legally. Many schools have a declaration of faith that staff, if not all students, must sign. I was recently looking at a job posting published by a fundamentalist college, and to even be a janitor there, one has to sign a declaration of faith. So the thing to do would be to found a private atheist college, and have everyone sign a declaration of non-faith.

If someone wants to make something exclusive with private funds I guess they have that right but with the new faith based initiative stuff this is happening with tax dollars. The Secular Coalition is a new lobby group that is working on preventing this. Still I think we shouldn't need it. Separation of church and state. btw, I would give to the atheist college fund or scholarship. =) I did give to the Carl Sagan Academy which accepts all religions but is stressing the teaching of critical thinking, science, and math in a school that will not promote any religion although also not deny any individual faith.
