"I asked for evidence, you offered none."

I don't propose to spend my day doing your homework for you, that's true. Besides, anyone who considers "mainstream newspapers" as sources of "evidence" is obviously not persuadable.

"It is plainly an overwrought fantasy that masses of teachers taught athiesm, at any time, anywhere."

Masses? Still with the straw men. It's a fact that many do, and quibbling over the difference between "masses" and "many" would be as useless as it would be foolish.

"Teaching evolutionary theory does not qualify, your unsupported opinion to the contrary notwithstanding."

When one considers that I have explicitly stated just the opposite on this very thread, one has to wonder what motivates you to attribute such an "opinion" to me.

Not "many", "Many, many". Is the correct quote. Masses is close enough, and this is a feeble defense. Find me three cases of the teaching of athiesm in public schools, that produced evidence outside the domain of homeschool creationist rumor mills. You are defending a pile of cow manure, and I think you know it--that's why you're haughtily above all this nonsense about verifiable evidence I keep asking you for.
