[Smogger]

Secular Humanism and Scientism are religious (though not theistic) worldviews/belief systems. Material naturalism is a philisophical point of view. These are the belief systems taught to students when evolution is taught as "fact" and to the exclusion of other worldviews/belief systems. The teaching of evolution in schools violates the seperation of Church, and state if it is taught to the exclusion of competing worldviews.

"Material naturalism is a philisophical point of view."

The phrase is methodological naturalism, and it is a necessity for ALL science, not just evolution.

"The teaching of evolution in schools violates the seperation of Church, and state if it is taught to the exclusion of competing worldviews."

Yes, let's have Whole Science and let every crackpot idea into the science classroom. Let the students *discover* what is right.
