i hate to break it to you, but schools are already teaching religion. example: global warming, radical environmentalism, worship of the state, dialectic materialism. schools should stick to scientific facts and teach theories as theories and debate them. example: in my us govt class i spend as much time talking about communism, socialism, and fascism as i do about representative democracy. my students need to have some basis of comparison before they can decide for themselves.

my own opinion is that neither creationism or spontaneous dvolution can be proven, so schools should teach both and admit nobody knows or ever will know. it makes little difference in most peoples lives, and we are wasting time arguing over it. focus on things that do exist and matter, like non spacial, non temporal mathematical objects.
