Is there any difference between "we kicked god out of schools" and "human unfaithfulness caused it"?

11. Yes, I think so.

The second is saying that it is a symptom of human immorality. The first is at best saying much more specifically that lack of religion in schools caused this immorality, and at worst, that God allowed children to be murdered out of anger at not being made part of the school curriculum (which makes God sound something like the wicked fairy in The Sleeping Beauty!)

In this case, I would disagree with the second view as well, because the shooter was clearly not subject to social norms, good or bad, and was acting out of some form of derangement. It may indeed be a symptom of a broader evil in society that he had such ready access to a gun, but I don't think you can attribute such frightening violence to a general problem in society, culture, or even humanity as a whole.
