It looks like the FR evolutionists are a tiny, tiny minority whose opinions should not be forced on the majority against their will.

Creationism in Public Schools

Thousands of public schools around the country do not allow the biblical perspective on the creation process to be taught in their classrooms. The survey shows that most Americans are dismayed by that point-of-view. About six out of every ten adults (59%) favor teaching creationism while less than four out of ten (38%) do not want it added to the public school curriculum content.

Asians were the only subgroup among which a majority opposed teaching creationism. (It is helpful to realize that among the Asians living in the U.S., six out of ten are atheist, agnostic or associated with a non-Christian faith – a combination that is more than double proportion found among other ethnic segments.)

Almost nine out of ten evangelicals (86%) support teaching creationism, along with 70% of non-evangelical born agains and 60% of notional Christians. Most Protestants (69%) and Catholics (59%) support this approach to explaining the genesis of the universe.

The Chart shows 29% of ATHEISTS/AGNOSTIC support teaching Creationism in public schools.
