Why do you lie that the Torah is older than a bible?
This question is inflammatory. The word Torah means instruction. The first five books of the JudeoChristian Bible is the Torah. Since it is generally agreed that these same five books are the foundation of both Judaism and Christianity and that these are the eldest books of the Bible, it is not a lie. The JudeoChristian Bible was set as cannon in two stages. The Old Testament (Tanakh to the Jews) was formalized in a continuing process until about 100 AD. The New Testament cannon was not formalized until about 400AD. The Bible as Christians know it was finalized about that time. The Torah is the foundation of both religions and is recognized as the basis of JudeoChristian ethics. Archeological evidence found in the Qumran region, known as the Dead Sea Scrolls, confirm that copies of Torah scrolls were actively being used before the first century.

Why would they want to ban the Bible from schools?
The United States Constitution states..."Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." This is the first Amendment, contained in the Bill of Rights. While the language seems clear that the United States may not declare an official religion for the country, various Supreme Court rulings have determined what this particular amendment can mean. The "banning" of the JudeoChristian Bible from public schools is an offshoot of the lawsuit brought by Madelyn Murray O'Hare in the 1960's. Ms. O'Hare was an atheist who objected to her son being made to participate in school assemblies when prayer was part of the assembly. Under the First Amendment, she argued that her "religion" did not include prayer to the JudeoChristian God. An offshoot of this decision in her favor was that the JudeoChristian Bible was not allowed because it was a religious document favoring one particular religion. Various school districts have established courses that study the Bible as an historical document, but the public reading of the Bible as a part of a faith ceremony (assemblies, sporting events, ect) is still banned as "religious expression" under the First Amendment. One interesting footnote to history...Ms. O'Hare's son grew up and became a Baptist minister.
Where does Judaism now reside?
Judaism is both a culture and a religion. Just as there are Buddists, Islamists, and Christians all over the world, so there are Jews all over the world. Physically, the city of Jerusalem is the heart of Judaism. Just as Rome is the physical heart of Catholicism, and Medina is the heart of Islam, Jerusalem is the place that Jews remembers in their prayers. The JudeoChristian Bible is full of references to this city, including future prophecies about it.
What element of modern democracy is most related to JudeoChristian principles?

Additionally, the emphasis on moral responsibility and ethical governance in Judeo-Christian teachings supports the idea of civic duty and the moral obligations of leaders to serve the common good.
