133. It's called the First Amendment, Charlie. No other laws need be passed.
And as long as your little club -- and the school -- have a live and let live policy, there is no legal problem whatsoever.

Problems arise when your little club preaches hellfire and damnation to non-believers. Problems arise when your little club goes on a social power trip.

Like that would ever happen. :sarcasm:

"Live and let live" used to be the American way. As long as all students are taught that the First Amendment means what it says and that ALL religions are accorded protection along with NON-believers, then what we have is a learning experience in diversity.

Just better be sure the Wiccan Social and the Humanist Club get equal billing, okay?

See my post downthread that includes links to the ACLU history of protecting religous expression (including Christian) on public schools campuses.
