Aristotelian realism and Natural Law theory do not require a religious basis. Just saying, for those who wish to avoid Governments suggesting that "religious beliefs" do not belong in the public sphere.
Edit: Aristotelian realism is a clumsy phrase given that Aristotelianism is realist by nature. Keeping it though.
But I don't think classic philosophy will have a place on the curriculum. Very soon the only philosophers and sociologists allowed in school will be marxists and post-modernists. any other western branch of philosophy will be discarded as "colonizer ideology" or some shit like that.

They have a place now; though you're right, they may yet be prohibited. This makes me think my initial post was a bit retarded.
Honestly, it feels weird advocating for "old" philosophical positions on KiA. That having been said, its one of the few places on the webs where even a couple of people might care. Why do I bring up Aristotle? Because everything we know today is based on the Humanist/Enlightenment philosophers. There were plenty of decent ideas to come out of these schools, but we also got "man is the measure of all things."
This is sounding like a reverse ferdorapost, but as a religious person I don't think fighting back leftists (or progressives/other dickheads), requires all the schmucks here to convert to my religion. If I had my druthers, the average man would become a Realist, double points if they read Aristotle, and jackpot for those who read Aquinas (though at this point you'd might as well become Catholic: Alistair McIntyre did it).

good advice.
