Should religious practice be allowed in school?
Yes. The school, as a government institution, may not sponsor or solicit any religious practice because doing so would violate the First Amendment's establishment clause. However, the school also may not prohibit a student from reasonable religious practice without violating the same amendment's Free Exercise clause. Practically, this means that the school can't sponsor an official prayer or have any required religious practices, but it must allow students to pray individually (and even aloud if they so desire).
Who argued that government control over religious beliefs was a form of tyranny?
In so many words, the framers of the US Constitution spelled that out in the First Amendment. I believe they wanted that amendment included because the Church of England had set a bad example of religious intolerance in Great Britain. Of course times have changed and the UK does not impede religious worship or ideas.
