Talk about spin! The decision reiterated that public schools are no place to promote any particular religious beliefs.

Teaching evolution is teaching religion, in my view.

Teaching evolution is teaching religion, in my view.

Religion: (theistic): "1 the belief in a superhuman controlling power, esp. in a personal God or gods entitled to obedience and worship. 2 the expression of this in worship. 3 a particular system of faith and worship." Non-Theistic: "The word religion has many definitions, all of which can embrace sacred lore and wisdom and knowledge of God or gods, souls and spirits. Religion deals with the spirit in relation to itself, the universe and other life. Essentially, religion is belief in spiritual beings. As it relates to the world, religion is a system of beliefs and practices by means of which a group of people struggles with the ultimate problems of human life."

Your view is misinformed. Fortunately, it isn't held by actual biologists.
