"It has become a battle ground," said Eugenie Scott

It sure is...it's a battle between religions: Atheism vs. theism. There is no doubt that the official U.S. govt. religion (not explicit but implicit) is Atheism, and it is taught in all govt. schools. All one has to do is note that every single teaching in public schools is consistent with atheism, whether the subject be biology, cosmology, physics, ethics - any subject that involves a choice - our govt. chooses atheism. Children are taught that they evolved from a chimp or common ancestor thereof, that they cannot control their sex drives (after all, they are no different from other evolved animals, so GIVE THEM A CONDOM!). This is a violation of the govt's own professed "wall of separation" as atheism has become the State Religion.

Two problems with your argument.

First, not mentioning religion is not the same as discounting religion.
Second, atheism is not a religion. It's the abscence of theism, nothing more and nothing less.
