"Darwin is not a religious figure"
I would venture to say he certainly is to some - many on these threads.
Get a clue. Many who accept evolution are Christians, and they obviously don't think Darwin is a religious figure.
Those of us how don't believe in the supernatural also don't think Darwin is a religious figure, because no one is.
All we want is truth in science classes. You can have all the preaching about anything you want in church, but we're opposing a religious invasion of science class. That's it. Nothing else.
