What does the old deluder Satan act of 1647 show about the relationship between education and religion?
Early settlers had experienced many civil atrocities that occurred in Europe in the name of Christianity, such as the inquisition and the tortures during the crusades and many of the settlers had experienced persecution for practicing their own faith in Europe, the settlers wanted to prevent these things from happening here in the states and they were convinced that the atrocities in Europe were a result of wide spread illiteracy in general and a lack of biblical knowledge in particular. Since they could not read, it allowed the government to widely teach the masses that the bible required the church and state leaders of Europe (there was a national church) to be heavy handed. Because they were illiterate and could not read they scriptures themselves to learn otherwise they allowed and even participated in these acts. Because of the abuse of power that was imposed on a biblically illiterate people the settlers were convinced that if the common people could read and learn the word of God for themselves they would resist the evil government. Hence the law "The Old Deluder Satan Act of 1647". So to answer your question, the establishment of Public schools was for the direct purpose of teaching the masses how to read the bible in particular. Please see one of the early text books that were required for students called The New England Primer. This is still sold through amazon for about $6 or so and is biblically focused. Oh, how far we have come as a nation where everyone is trying to secularize the history of our government, take prayer and God out of schools. We must know our history and not listen to what the media has to say about it.
