My point is that atheists are entitled to their point of view in a public domain, and efforts to squelch their message by law are misplaced. Whether you accept the fact or not, there are atheists in public schools, and there are atheists who espouse the philosophy of evolution. There are also people from every walk of life whose interpretation of the facts is multifaceted. All of them may enjoy a hearing in the public domain. The Constitution does not prohibit as much.

When creationists speak, you may contest their ideas freely, or you may hold you hands over your ears and pretend not to hear. But to invoke the law of the land in order to give your own point of view special treatment - that is a sign you do not hold the intellectual high ground, but instead wish to use the public domain as a tool for indoctrination.

My point was that this has nothing to do with atheists. Evolution isn't atheistic.
