Yes, and there are also forces at work that want Chriatianity shunned to behind closed doors only in private, and only on Sundays.

Thankfully enough believers got sick of that also!

The world doesn’t belong specifically to science, let alone is set by the rules the “scientists” prefer.

Frankly, I think all of the various entities that define our realities should have equal time. If scientists gave up it may be more likely that they just didn’t have as good a game!

No, but the world of science does work within the guidelines set forth by science. This is called the scientific method.

You can follow some other set of rules if you want, but if you do you are not free to call what you do science.

Equal time? In science class? For each of the "various entities that define our realities?" I assume by "entities" you mean ideas or fields of belief. Well, here are a bunch of "realities" (each is real to some group):

Magic, superstition, wishful thinking, old wives tales, folklore, what the stars foretell and what the neighbors think, faked moon landings, omens, public opinion, astromancy, spells, Ouija boards, anecdotes, a flat or hollow earth, Da Vinci codes, tarot cards, sorcery, seances, sore bunions, black cats, divine revelation, crop circles, table tipping, witch doctors, crystals and crystal balls, numerology, divination, geocentrism, faith healing, miracles, palm reading, the unguessable verdict of historyy, televangelists, magic tea leaves, new age mumbo-jumbo, hoodoo, voodoo and all that other weird stuff.

You can have any or all of it. Study it in any way you want.

But I'll stick to science.
