The schools are NOT teaching religion, no matter how hard you yell your message that the study of the natural processes in biology is a "religion". It just ain't so.

You didn't read all of my post that you responded to. My children have taken world religion classes in school. I consider that "teaching religion" despite whatever you might think.

Cite one. And don't just cite the paraphrased interpretation that someone typed; cite the source of the poll.

Why don't you quit pestering me and look for yourself?

Man, that's a classic!:

"Why don't you quit pestering me and look for yourself?"

YOU made the claim of 75%. Therefore YOU must provide the proof of that number.

You just don't get to throw out a figure, and have it be accepted until it's disproven. It's your argument - its up to you to support it. Until you do, as far as I am concerned it's a bogus, made up figure. And citing someone else's bogus, made-up figure doesn't make it fact, either.

And the historical study of religions, their social implications, and their origins is not the same as teaching "This is the one true interpretation of a deity, and all others are false!"
