I apologize for the suggestion that Anti-Gov was vested in, or had any reason to want to, destroy religion.

I was merely using his post as an illustration of how evolution was used by those who DID want to do so.

Please accept my apology for the error.

Apologies accepted!!

And just to be patently clear, my vested interest here is one thing and one thing only: I want to enjoy scientific advances. My concern with religion is only so far as I perceive it to hold science back. For all I care, they could teach Sunday School in the public schools every day, so long as they don't undermine the teaching of science by teaching religion as if it were science.

And might I add that the schools I attended formally taught religion and assembled for prayers daily. See how great I turned out!! :)

Excellent distinction.
