Those who oppose the teaching of evolution often say that evolution should be taught as a "theory, not as a fact."

Evo should be taught as a "belief," no different than any religion.

The theory of evolution is a scientific theory, not a religion. Creationism, creation "science," and ID are religious beliefs without scientific evidence, and do not rise to the level of a theory; they probably do not even reach hypothesis.

It is only your belief that suggests otherwise; religious belief is neither a scientific fact nor a scientific theory. (There are some 4,000+ extant world religions, most with differing beliefs.)
