It sounds as though in the schools if anything is happening it's the opposite. 'Science' is chasing religion into a corner. Some people here seem to like it that way. I agree, that certainly is a perception among many conservatives--but I think it is just that, a perception. I just don't see scientists 'campaigning' against religion (though if you have examples of such, I'll gladly listen), they really just do science. Einstein had religious beliefs, they may have even inspired some of his thinking, but he never presumed to preach his private mediations about God, and none of that was part of his published scientific work. But I do see religious folk in America campaigning to introduce religious doctrine into schools in ways that violate our fundamental freedoms. Our Founding Fathers (who were not all Christians, despite some claims to the contrary) were well aware of the senseless bloodshed and social blighting which religion had wrought in European history and were very, very careful to build a Constitution to enshrine strict separation of Church and State, and complete tolerance of freedom of worship. Let's keep it that way!

Some expressions of it appear to wear that face. For example our own Arooooooo, who is constantly recounting various creation stories. At a point, this is congruent with the behavior of one who wants to relativize everything.
