"Nobody is forcing you to read them or believe them."
Good, because there is no evidence they actually wrote them.
" OTOH, the public schools are forcing my children to read and believe evolution."
No, they are teaching your children science. They can believe whatever they wish.
But they get "tested" on it and they are required to put in the "correct" answers, even if they don't believe them.
There is a cure for this problem. Eliminate public schools. They are a waste of money anyway.
