Abstaining from meat on Friday is not a value!
I was never presented with meat on Friday as a sin. Just something not done.

And expecially not when a percentage of those "values" are arbitrary and misrepresented as being holy.
I'll always fall back (because I'm petty that way) on the "societal abuse" I took in school for eating meat on Fridays. A religious value of piety based on a bribe the then Pope took from the Genoese fishing cartel. But I had to endure as a child because I wasn't raised to believe JC died for "my" sins... sins like eating a bologna sandwich on a Friday.
THAT's why your religious values have no place in an American (meaning USA) school.
