But you cannot find any *organizations*, can you?

I have demonstrated to you that the major proponent of ID has the explicit purpose of inserting Christianity into science classes. That isn't in question. You can find no scientific groups that promote atheism. Surely you admit that there's a difference?

Thank you for your reply!

There is currently an opinion from the 7th Court of Appeals which has found that atheism is a religion when it is promoted. The decision was based on a litany of prior USSC decisions.

Many would argue that no less than the ACLU is bent on establishing atheism in the public square. Certainly the Newdow cases can be seen in this light. And then there are the myriad institutions of science which "officially" support methodological naturalism - but in "unofficial" debates, lectures, essays and the ilk within the community in fact support metaphysical naturalism.

This is a problem caused by the Lemon test which must be cured - since the court has gone beyond denominations and considered both theism and atheism as "religions".
