Are you claiming that the opponents of ID are all atheists? Is ID a religious topic?

ID isn't taught in science courses because (up to the current time), the proponents have been able to make a scientific case, not because of the religion (or lack therof) of its proponents.

Thank you for your reply!

Not at all. I offered it as an example of the "unfair advantage" enjoyed by atheists with reference to the "establishment clause" of the first amendment.

IOW, because both science and the classroom are restricted to the boundary of materialism - metaphysical naturalism has an "unfair advantage" over all religions in publicly funded education. That is taking the view that atheism (metaphysical naturalism) is a religion and naturalism has the monopoly.

I didn't wish to derail this thread into a crevo debate. The poster asked for examples of unfair advantage, and that one came to mind.
