It is perceived by some that outlawing formal religion results in replacing it with a functional ideological equivalent. Secularity as a condition of a non-ecclesiastical state may be distinguished with secularism as an ideology, with key Supreme court decisions  being used to infer state favor toward the nonreligious, resulting in a "religion-free education" which "indoctrinates" the young into viewing secularism as the only frame of reference.<ref>(liberal) Warren A.

Paul G. Kussrow and Loren Vannest ask, ''Is a religiously neutral public school education an oxymoron?'', and see notable Supreme court Establishment Clause decisions (such as Engel v. Vatale, l962) as in essence creating "a legal fiction--a myth of religious neutrality." They argue that "Philosophy and religion blur when dealing with these basics, such as truth, while pointing to the ultimate questions and answers in life," and that, "Any discussion of a secular-religious distinction is self-refuting. For someone's values are always being advocated even in so called "neutral" settings."

Removing formal God (and morality) based  religion from the public schools is seen to have the effect of supplanting it with [[Secular Humanism]]. This in turn  promotes pantheism, the worship of nature with its [[evolution]]ary hypothesis, and the rejection of moral absolutes (especially those of the Bible), resulting in a dangerous ever-morphing morality and decline of beneficial [[moral decline|traditional morality]].<ref>http://www.leaderu.com/humanities/neutral.html</ref>
