"I never said it is."

You said exactly this. We have been saying over and over that science is unable to examine if God exists, and you are saying science is saying therefore that God doesn't exist (the definition of atheism).

"It is simply atheism excercised and espoused within the confines of science."

See, you are doing it again. Atheism is ONLY the conviction that something does not exist. Science doesn't say this. How can the position of science be atheism when it doesn't say that God doesn't exist?

"Government has no business establishing and supporting that kind of exercise to exclusion of those who believe God may fall within the purview of science, either directly or indirectly."

The government has no business pushing theological claims in a science classroom when these claims are not capable of scientific examination.

Atheism is ONLY the conviction that something does not exist. Science doesn't say this.

Atheism does not express itself in a single form. I am not saying science is atheism, but atheistic to the extent it excludes God from its purview. The statement "God is beyond the purview of science" is specifically atheistic in regard to science. Not only does it mention "God" in particular, but it excludes God in particular. So to that extent, science is atheistic, not "agnostic as you wishfully assert. A good many science textbooks bear this out, not to mention those who deliberately and pointedly insist that science must be atheistic to be scientific.
